Lyrics
I Did It For Love
(copyright Craig Neil, Jimmy Stadler)
I did it for love
I have no regrets
I'd do it all again
though it broke my heart
I did it for love
Joe closes the door
the silhouette there before
was that of his only child
his baby girl his Gina
he's put her out in the rain
the drugs controlling her brain
have left her a shell of who he's raised for eighteen years now
and as she's slowly walking away
he turns his face to heaven to say...
a friend, lover and wife
twenty years of Mary's life
were spent with the only man she's ever loved her soul mate
things aren't like before
the booze has taken it's toll
he pleads for her not to go
but she can't watch him drowning
and as she's slowly walking away
she turns her face to heaven to say...
sometimes people change
our lives get rearranged
but who's to blame when summer slowly fades to winter
love will still remain
but at a distance we'll stay
they always say to hate the sin and not the sinner
and on my knees I'll pray
to have the strength to say...
