Mama's holding on as I was letting go Not sure where I was heading out on my own I remember all the power of my father's words Long after they were spoken They could still be heard He said, "Life's not quite as simple out beyond these fields This world is bound to fail you But our love never will" Chorus: Loving's what living is all about It's the giving, Not the taking That makes life worth while When we're living without loving We're living without Loving's what living is all about Loving's what living is all about You can ask a dying man What he'd rather hold A tender loving hand or a heart of gold Have you ever seen yourself In a new born's eyes I tell you it's enough to make a tough man cry Have you ever felt the feeling of a lover's touch There's nothing like the feeling when you fall in love Chorus: Loving's what living is all about It's the giving, not the taking That makes life worth while When we're living without loving We're living without Loving's what living is all about Loving's what living is all about Love can bring the sweetiest joy Love can bring us to tears Love can lead us through it all That's the reason we're here Chorus: Loving's what living is all about It's the giving, not the taking That makes life worth while When we're living without loving We're living without Loving's what living is all about Loving's what living is all about
