Poems for the Soul



In This Life
as sung by Bette Midler on her Album "Bette of Roses" and also sung by Collin Raye

For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one touch you set me free


Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you


For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost


I know that I won't live forever
But forever, I'll be loving you


If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you.
