For The Love Of A Woman

(album: Electric Light Orchestra Part Two - 1990)

No one could say
How she caught my eyes
To this day
I don't know why
Oh well her eyes
So much like diamonds
And her heart
So much like gold

I knew that I'd
Win her in time
When I felt her heart
Beat close to mine
And once in her arms
Then I knew anything I would do
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone
I'd have a love of my own

I thank my stars
I found an angel
Never again
Will I walk alone
She brought a light
Into my heart
Like the brightest star
That's ever shone

Money and gold
To a king
When you're alone
Don't mean a thing
And once in her arms
Then I know anything I would do
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
I prayed that I'd never have to walk alone
Now, I have a love of my own

I could paint a masterpiece
I could walk through fire
I could shout it from the roof
From the smallest flame to a fire this love has grown
Just for the love of a woman
Money and gold mean nothing
Never again will I have to walk alone
I have a love of my own
Now I have a love of my own
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman
Just for the love of a woman

(Love of my own, love of my own
I can't face this world all alone)
