The One Thing That Matters Is Love
It is the start and ending of a relationship
The One Thing That Matters Is Love
Money grows dusty and beauty grows old
Fame disappears quicker than people are told
Houses stand empty when hearts have turned cold
Nothing material can truly hold
I spent years chasing what glittered and shone
Thinking success would make emptiness gone
Still every victory faded too fast
Leaving me hollow once moments had passed
Then came a hand reaching softly for mine
No grand performance, no perfect design
Just honest affection alive in the dark
Warming the deepest most wounded parts
The one thing that matters is love in the end
Not all the strangers pretending be friends
Not all the applause or the praise from the crowd
Only the hearts staying near when life clouds
Love is the voice saying stay one more day
Love is the hand wiping salt tears away
Love is the choosing through sorrow and strain
Again and again and again and again
Even the dying reach out before gone
Searching for comfort to carry them on
Nobody whispers for riches at last
Only for people and moments now passed
So hold tightly close all the ones who are real
Speak what you mean while there’s time left to feel
Life disappears far too sudden and fast
Love is the only thing built enough to last
