  • I'll give you the best I can give you, baby
    That's all I can give
    We'll live it the best we can live it, baby
    As long as we live

    What kind of love never turns you down
    What kind of love lifts you off the ground
    Turns your life around
    What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
    And the driving rain

    What kind of love runs through your heart with
    A pleasure so close to pain
    What kind of love
    Only this love that I have

    I'll show you the best I can show you, baby
    That's all I can show you
    I'll know you the best I can know you baby
    As long as I know you

    What kind of love never turns away
    What kind of love never makes you pay
    Hears you when you pray
    What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
    And the driving rain
    What kind of love runs through your heart with
    A pleasure so close to pain
    What kind of love
    Only this love that I have

    This love I know is all I have
    This love I have is all I know
    So I won't let go

    What kind of love makes you go out in the wind
    And the driving rain
    What kind of love runs through your heart with
    A pleasure so close to pain
    What kind of love only this love that I have
    What kind of love only this love that I have Writer/s: Rodney Crowell, Roy Orbison, Will Jennings
