a love that's true

a life of giving to others
and what have to show
a whole lot of good feelings
that nobody will know
unless i find another
who wants to care and share
all i've got are memories
when nobody is here

will someone stay someday
or will i die alone
will anyone be around
to put up a heastone
or simply cremate me
will anybody care
enough to do it right
who will be there?

a life of nurturing others
why will nobody stay
do i give or ask for too much
what drives people away?
i life this life to share
and take care of my friends
yet here i am alone again
will i be alone when it ends?

what is this life about?
am i doing something wrong
i give my all without a doubt
and still is sing a lonely song
does no one see that i
want someone to care for me
the way i care for others
unconditionally

maybe that is too much to ask
maybe i'm the fool for giving so much
maybe people just take advantage
and then leave when they get enough
maybe the kind of love i share
is not what others will give
are we not all one family
is that not why we live

a life of caring for others
and yet who cares for me
people come and go so fast
no one stays family
will i ever find an equal partner
who wants to share the way i do
to trust unconditionally
to share honesty, a love that's true

is that really too much to give
i don't want to change the way i live
i love how i share when i can share
i love how it feels to care
is that so hard to understand
i never want to close my hand
what's mine is yours, it's meant to be shared
i don't regret a single moment
or how i cared
or how i shared
and now alone again i wonder
is my reasoning impaired...

will i ever find an equal partner
who wants to share the way i do
to trust unconditionally
to share honesty, a love that's true
a best friend, a partner in all we do
sharing honestly, a love that's true
