Lyrics
?THAT?S THE WAY I WANT TO BE LOVED?
Words & Music by
Lee Kweller & Terry Bell
Old man Miller sits alone in his chair
Still hears her voice but there?s nobody there
For fifty years she was the love of his life
The mother of his children his best friend and wife
Her last words were don?t worry, Jim
Heaven?s gonna bring us together again
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT TO BE LOVED
That?s my only claim to forever
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT IT
I WANT TO BE LOVED
Mary McGuire lives down the street
A single mother has to make ends meet
Now two grown children have a life of their own
She worked hard all her life and now she?s alone
She know?s it was worth the sacrifice
When she looks into her children?s eyes
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT TO BE LOVED
That?s my only claim to forever
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT IT
I WANT TO BE LOVED
When the scenes of my life have faded to black
And the one who brought me here comes to take me back
A little part of me will stay alive
In the hearts I leave behind
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT TO BE LOVED
That?s my only claim to forever
THAT?S THE WAY I WANT IT
I WANT TO BE LOVED
