All That Matters Anymore

(album: Every Night's A Saturday Night - 1997)

I've chased after money in my life
Just to spend it all on things that money buys
Still a hole kept getting deeper down inside
Seemed the more I had the less I was satisfied
When I was busted down to nothing I was richer than I'd ever been before
I learned that your love is my treasure that's all that matters anymore

And I've seen my children grow away from me
Knowing I was not the best dad that I could be
Oh but they were only mine to be set free
In a picture much too big for us to see
Now as the years keep slipping by I keep on trying to even up the score
They just keep giving me their love and that's all that matters anymore

All that matters anymore is feeling like I've finally come to know my own soul
All that matters anyway is living day to day just to do a little better than before
So with a measure of forgiveness I keep reaching for the peace I'm longing for
Taking comfort in your sweet love that's all that matters anymore

Now with a measure of forgiveness I've almost found the peace I'm longing for
Taking comfort in your sweet love that's all that matters anymore
I take my comfort in your sweet love that's all that matters anymore
