Lyrics
Nothing More to Life
Music and Lyrics by Chris Koch
Face like a kalamata olive
Sweet as a grape to kiss
No other love as long as I live
Girl you can count on this
You must trust me on this
Eyes like a candle in a mirror
Smile like a chandelier
No other arms will draw me nearer
Nor heart ever be so dear
I've wasted so much time reviewing
All my other possibilities
But honey, I didn't know what I was doing
So please
Wontcha please
Forgive
I'm at a loss
I don't know what to say
Can't find the words
There's really no excuse
I don't know why it took so long for me to see it
It was ever before my silly face
You helped me find my song -- helped me be it
You put my heart in the right place
Now my hearts in the right place
After all these years, at last, it's broken through
I finally realize what has always been true
There's nothing more to life
Nothing more to life than loving you
Asleep so long, I'm finally coming to
At last I understand what has always been true
There's nothing more to life
Nothing more to life than loving you
