That's what love is - David Phelps

Hi everyone,

I was watching a DVD of one of my favourite singers, David Phelps, this morning. It had one of my favourite songs on it, a song that I just love and think is beautiful, and the talk that David had with his family before the song (and explaining where this song was written from) just made me cry.

After experiencing some very difficult times in my life, this song really just helps discover what love truly is.

Lyrics:
It’s the only thing worth life and death.
It’s the first moment and the final breath.
It’s a broken heart keeping a solemn vow
And a lost soul being found.

You pray for faith when it’s hard to believe.
You choose to stay when it’s easy to leave
And when hope is gone you’re the one who keeps holding on.

Chorus
That’s what love is
When you give until there’s nothing left
And it makes you give the very best.
That’s what love is.
It can make you laugh and make you cry.
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live.
That’s what love is.

It’s the dream you give up for someone else.
It’s being strong when you’re weak yourself.
Though it tears you up you trust again.
Hatred loses and forgiveness wins.

You turn your cheek when you want to fight.
Sell all you have and lay down your life
And when hope is gone you’re the one who keeps holding on.

Chorus
That’s what love is
When you give until there’s nothing left
And it makes you give the very best.
That’s what love is.
It can make you laugh and make you cry.
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live.
That’s what love is.

It’s reaching out and holding on so someone else will know.
Love is in the not letting go.

And you know what? For the first time, I'm going to let this lyric stand and take some time to think about it... the whole lyric pretty much speaks for itself.

I know I haven't posted too many in the last few months, for those who don't know, I've been very ill and had cancer cut out of my leg too, so it's been difficult to do anything on here.

Take care,

Beck
