Lyrics
The Loving Voice That I Know T. Edwin Doss Sometimes when I'm driving a lonely two-lane country road Heading for another one horse town I think about the one who said she loved me so The life I turned away ... the one I found I find myself reflecting on the shadows of a doubt Through pages written down in memory Like a man under water rising up so he may breathe I take a breath to avoid fears of uncertainty
Chorus All I really feel is something down in my heart Urging me to push on through the night Like a Shepard watching over words written on a page Knowing somewhere over a hill I'll be all right. Between the headlights shining down and the darkness far beyond I sometimes see the lady I let go With in the rhapsody of raindrops and the windshield wiper's sound I can hear the loving voice that I know Love is like a river running through two hearts that beat as one Some say will never turn back from where it came No matter how I fight the water to swim the distant shore There are powers in my soul I dare to tame A perfumed kiss in darkness, a gentle hand upon my face The whisper of a memory through the wind When the weariness of lonely recalls desperate dreams at night I awaken to love that calls me home again.
Chorus
