I Haven't Loved This Way in Years

(album: Everybody's Choice - 1982)

Oh the pain in my heart must have shown in my eyes
For you to see that empty place in my soul
Lying inches apart side by side
You're just what I've been needing to hold

And the sweet things you said was like an ole song
Your voice was like music to my ears
You brought back feelin's that I thought had died
And I haven't loved this way in years

Oh you know that you held me like nobody's held me
In what seems like a million yesterdays
You didn't have to say you love me the moment that you touch me
Your eyes said all there was to say

In the still of the night as we drift off to sleep
Your heartbeat is the only sound I hear
If I never love again this night was worth it all
Cause I haven't loved this way in years

Oh you know that you held me like nobody's held me
In what seems like a million yesterdays
You didn't have to say you love me the moment that you touch me
Your eyes said all there was to say

In the still of the night as we drift off to sleep
Your heartbeat is the only sound I hear
If I never love again this night was worth it all
Cause I haven't loved this way in years
