Honey sit down let me tell you what I''m thinking

The story I remember as a kid

About a man who tried to tell his wife he loved her

And the strong and simple heart felt way he did



He said I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings

And the strenght to work and live the way I do

And then I asked my two most wanted wishes

Let me live with love and die with you

[ piano ]

Now the woman in that story was my mama

So I''m passin'' on a family legacy

And when I tell you that I feel just like my daddy

And every night I fall down on my knees



And I thank the Lord...

Yes let me live with love and die with you
