"Love Will Make You Wise" lyrics - SHEENA EASTON

35 years forever and a day
And it all came down to this
That nothing in this world's gonna last forever
And perfect doesn't exist

But every sleepless nights got to count for something
And it's finally offered up it's prize
Living alone's got to make you stronger... I know
But only love can make you wise

Well I've taken so many wrong turns in my life to come home to this place
With you sleeping here beside me
Your soft hand resting on my face

And when you wake I'll see the very best of me shining right there in your eyes
You need me and that's all I need to know
Your love has made me wise

So I'd sell my soul and stand in line to hold your place in heaven
'Cause the day I was blessed by your sacred kiss
I knew that all my sins had already been forgiven

At night I hold my babies to me and whisper in their hair
If there's only so much love to go round
Then I already got my share
I guess I prayed so hard for a miracle that god answered me twice

Yes life has taught me all I needed to know
But love, sweet love... love sweet love
Life will teach you all you need to know
But only love... will make you wise
