Love Became My Life

Love Became My Life ©2016 Robert George BMI

Well, I did a little stealing
Back when I just fifteen
And I did a little dealing
Till I joined the mean Marines
Honey, I sure as hell ain’t no saint
After that I did some sinnin’
From La Grange to San Antonio
And I chased a lotta women
Like a gypsy Romeo
Even so I never had no complaints

But I never knew where I was goin’ to
I was always just a night wind blowin’ through

And then love became my life
Now my days are on a brighter road
Ev’ry breath I take is sweet
Cos I’m living by a diff’rent code
You’re where life begins
And I’ve known it ever since
Love became my life

Lady, you were waitin’ tables
In that lonely Natchez bar
Honey, somehow you were able
T’ see the soul within my heart
And my heart could see that you’re no fool
The life that I was livin’
Wasn’t really life at all
Now that I’ve been blessed by heaven
I walk the line and walk it tall
Cos a shady life showed me a shining jewel

I thought love was where my heart would never go
But it’s the wildest journey that I’ll ever know

Because love became my life
Now my days are on a brighter road
Ev’ry breath I take is sweet
Cos I’m living by a diff’rent code
You’re where life begins
And I’ve felt it ever since
Love became my life

O the only thing that I am sure of
Is that dawn was empty without your love

And then love became my life
Now my days are on a brighter road
Ev’ry breath I take is sweet
Cos I’m living by a diff’rent code
You’re where life begins
And I’ve known it ever since
Love became my life

Don't laugh.

I hear this as a Stevie Ray Vaughn-type song.
