Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
From the first breath we take, twenty-seven thousand days
Or something like that they say it's all that we have
Don't you throw your life away
It's too beautiful to waste
To live for anything, anything else but love
Only one thing changes everything
Only one sure cure for every pain
The answer's right there waiting for you to chose
It doesn't cost you anything
But your world will never be the same
Take it from me cause I'm living proof
That's what love can do
I'm living proof that's what love can do
I'm living proof that's what love can do
A word we rarely understand hold the key to the heart of man
It can shatter the darkness and it can heal every soul
Once you've tasted heaven's love
Nothing else will be enough
You'll want more everyday, you'll want to give it away
Only one thing changes everything
Only one sure cure for every pain
The answer's right there waiting for you to chose
It doesn't cost you anything
But your world will never be the same
Take it from me cause I'm living proof
That's what love can do
I'm living proof that's what love can do
It's what makes the world go round
It's what makes the lost get found
I'm living proof that's what love can do, yeah
It's what makes the world go round
It's what makes the lost get found
I'm living proof that's what love can do, oh
That's what love can do
It doesn't cost you anything
But your world will never be the same
Take it from me cause I'm living proof
That's what love can do, it can do, it can do, oh it can do
Take it from me
Oh I'm living proof that's what love can do
That's what love can do
