Love lives here
You drive away and I feel my heart sink
Too much time means too much to think
About the pitfalls and dangers that you face
As you try to make it easier to get to that place
Where every day begins with love and a kiss
It’s that and the memory of your touch I miss
Seems so long until we are back in an embrace
That wipes away those tears and can erase
Every fear and worry that the day will never arrive
Then from the lowest point it becomes so alive
Cause love lives here and it’s always in bloom
Buds burst open when you walk into the room
Love lives here and it makes me feel like a child
In a candy store and his favorite dreams run wild
Love lives here when you are near
Love lives here and there is no fear
When my phone rings your text tone
I brighten up and I don’t feel so alone
Miles away but your words cuddle up close
It’s so clear to see why it’s you I love the most
Then you call me and we’re alone and do a video chat
Let me tell you buddy only one thing better than that
I see your loving eyes looking straight into mine
Whatever had me blue is gone and I’m feeling fine
Then you tell me that you’re coming home soon
Excited as can be I get crazy as a loon
Cause love lives here and it’s always in bloom
Buds burst open when you walk into the room
Love lives here and it makes me feel like a child
In a candy store and his favorite dreams run wild
Love lives here when you are near
Love lives here and there is no fear
Yeah honey nothing worth having is easy as pie
We are going through hell but we have to try
Keep our focus on the prize that we will get
Once we are ready to move and get everything set
Merge our pasts and then make a future together
Together cause we can handle any kind of weather
I know you’ll be here for me and baby I got you
Nothing can stop us our love will get us through
And we will end every day with a kiss and an embrace
Wake every morning with a big smile on our face
Cause love lives here and it’s always in bloom
Buds burst open when you walk into the room
Love lives here and it makes me feel like a child
In a candy store and his favorite dreams run wild
Love lives here when you are near
Love lives here and there is no fear
