Nothing Sacred

NOTHING SACRED - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Every time I see you * It's like * Seeing you for the very first time * When you speak * It's all I can do to keep from losing my mind * Is that an angel talking? * What keeps my heart from walking up to you? * And loving you? * Right before all the world can see * Everybody keeps forgetting * They can't see what it's all about * You and I can be so different * Falling in and never falling back out * What on earth would matter? * Why does it have to be? * Before and once to be * Let it be or let it be * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * Isn't love supposed to be? * For always and forever more * There's a moral to my story * Unlike so many of them before * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * And if the path I choose leads me to your virgin love * Then why can I not pretend that it's your virginity that I crave? * Be not who I am dreaming of * My diligence can't capture * All the glow of every rapture * Under sunny conditions could you tell me why * It still rains * On me *

Why must everyone pretend to know? * Or have to know? * When in truth they will never know * Divorces happen the same day * People throw away love like it was garbage * That must be the way they want it * Makes them happy * Too old for them to believe in * Happy ever after * There is no laughter * Only hearts being led to the slaughter * The moment slaps them in the face * This is the moment of truth * This is the moment of your grace * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * Isn't love supposed to be? * For always and forever more * There's a moral to my story * Unlike so many of them before * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * If you can't make it last forever * Two hearts in love with each other * To live and are together * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * Why can't love always be? * For always and forever more * There's a moral to my story * unlike so many of them before * Isn't nothing sacred anymore? * Isn't love? *
