Only what’s done in love, will last  By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


[Am]I’m lying here, and you’re right there


I [C] want to touch you, but baby I ‘m scared


[Am]I see your smile, but your sadness shows


How [C] can we fix this, God only knows


but [F] good things come to those who wait


and I’ll [G] wait for you no [F]matter how long it [C]takes


I’ll [G] wait for you no [F]matter how long it [C]takes


.




Verse 2


[Am]From the moment we met, yeah,I knew


the [C]reason I breathe and live, is you


[Am]You’re the woman I still dream about


You’re [C] the one love I can’t live without


I [F] know that we were always meant to be,


because [G]in my eyes, you’re [F] the only one I [C] see


'cause [G]in my eyes, you’re [F] the only one I [C] see


.




Chorus


[F]I want to be the one you never doubt


[C] Yeah, the one you just can’t live without


[F]Tell me what it is you want me to do


‘cause [C] this heart is nothing without you


[F]The future so quickly has become the past


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last


.





Verse 3


[Am]now I’m tossing and turning most every night


I [C]don’t have an answer to make things right


[Am]Searching for reasons, not much there to find


And [C]a million thoughts wandering through my mind


With [F] fears and tears, words lost under my breath


There’s [G] a part of me that’s [F]getting scared to [C]death


There’s [G] a part of me that’s [F]getting scared to [C]death




.




Chorus


Chorus


[F]I want to be the one you never doubt


[C] Yeah, the one you just can’t live without


[F]Tell me what it is you want me to do


‘cause [C] this heart is nothing without you


[F]The future so quickly has become the past


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last


.




[F]The future so quickly has become the past


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last


[F]The future so quickly has become the past


Lord [G] knows that only what’s [F]done in love will[C] last

Re: Only what's done in Love, will last.

Excellent lyrics Jim and so true the future so quickly has become the past. There is so many stories that can be conjured up with that line in your song, "I see your smile, but your sadness shows."     

Re: Only what's done in Love, will last.

Excellent piece of writing again Jim.  Sounds very much like a relationship in trouble and a broken heart.

Great writing Jim, it all fits together so well. Haven't tried it ...yet!

Re: Only what's done in Love, will last.

Hey Jim. I enjoyed your song. Like Jan says, it sounds like more of a one-way love story that leads to heartache in the end.  I know many people can relate to your words. Well done.
