The Love Of Loving You - Tom Paxton

The Love Of Loving You

By Tom Paxton

In an unexpected moment I beheld you

I’d never seen your face, I did not know your name

Then you came into my life from out of nowhere

And now absolutely nothing is the same

Cho: You are in my heart and in my mind

Now I’ve known your love, I want no other kind

I can feel your power shining through

And I’m lost in the love of loving you

It’s so strange the way we live our lives in sorrow

And the way we let the happiness slip by;

For our eyes are always fixed upon the morrow

While today is in the corner of our eye

Cho

I was looking for tomorrow when you found me;

My heart was anywhere but in today

Now the magic of the moment’s all around me

And I hear the words I always longed to say:

Cho
