LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE

I wrote the first two verses to this a little over a year ago. I got stuck on the third verse, So I sent it to a friend, Jim Rogers who lives on Northern Ky. Just south the Ohio river from Cincinatti. The next morning it was in my inbox.

It's in the eyes of a child

the wagging tail of a pup

it's a hand reaching out

to help some poor soul up

it's a visit from an old friend

when you're down and alone

It's a family waiting for

their soldier coming home

chorus

I can feel it in the air

over here, over there

here's to those who wear

their hearts upon their sleeves

for there is no greater treasure

than love without measure

such a blessing and a pleasure

to give and receive

It was the smell of mother's kitchen

how I loved the holidays

It's how my father worshipped her

'til the day he passed away

so, take it all in, toss it around

it's abundant and it's free

I'll throw all my love at you

you can throw yours back at me

repeat chorus

As life goes on

as the years roll by

and the seasons change

in the blink of an eye

love will be there

like it's always been

so, when love comes a knocking

open up and let it in

repeat chorus
