david gray living room lyrics
(marching) (music fades in) if i sing, but don't have love i'll waste my breath with every song i'll bring an empty voice, a hollow noise if i speak, with a silver tongue convince a crowd but don't have love i'll leave a bitter taste, with every word i say so let my love be the proof, the proof of your love
let my love look like you, and what you're made of how you lived, how you died, love is sacrifice so let my love be the proof, the proof of your love if i give to a needy soul, but don't have love then who is poor it seems all the poverty is found in me so let my love be the proof, the proof of your love so let my life be the proof, the proof of your love when it's all said and done,
when we sing our final song, only love remains, only love remains "if i speak with human eloquence, and angelic ecstasy, but don't love i am nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate if i speak god’s word with power, revealing all of his mysteries and making everything as plain as day, and if i have faith to say to a mountain, “jump,†and it jumps, but i don’t love, i’m nothing. if i give all i own to the poor, and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr but i don't love, i've gotten nowhere so, no matter what i say, no matter what i believe, no matter what i do i'm bankrupt without love"
let my life be the proof the proof of your love let my love look like you, and what you are made of so, let my life be the proof, the proof of your love
