My Way Of Life lyrics
by John Hartford
[Instrumental Introduction]
[Verse 1]
Gotta have you near all the time
With your dreams wrapped in mine
Gotta be a part of your soul and of your heart all the time
Nothing in the world that I do
Means a thing, without you
I'm just half alive in my struggle to survive without you
[Chorus 1]
You are my way of life
The only way I know
You are my way of life
I'll never let you go
[Verse 2]
Never let you out of my sight
Be it day, be it night
You belong to me that's the way it has to be
Wrong or right
I don't need the crowd at my door
The applause from the floor
All I want is you and the love that we once knew nothing more
[Chorus 2]
You are my way of life
The only way I know
I'll never let you go
Because I love you so
(Modulation (key change))
[Chorus 3]
You are my way of life
The only way I know
Make me your way of life
Don't ever go
[Instrumental outro]
