"Carrying Your Love With Me"
Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag.
And everything I own don't fill up half.
But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack.
All I care about is getting back real soon.
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you.
[Chorus:]
I'm carrying your love with me.
West Virginia down to Tennessee.
I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed.
Carrying your love with me.
It's my strength for holdin' on,
Every minute that I have to be gone.
I'll have everything I ever need.
Carrying your love with me.
On a lonely highway, stuck out in the rain.
Darlin' all I have to do is speak your name.
The clouds roll back and the waters part.
The sun starts shining in my heart for you.
You're right there in everything I do, 'cause...
[Chorus]
This song shows that material possessions don't mean a lot. It shows that we can get by with only the necessities of life, as long as we have love. I know that I carry the love of many with me each day. I carry the love of my family, I carry the love of those who are no longer here on this earth with me and I carry the love of my best friend, the love of my life. She knows who she is! Sometimes life gets rough. Sometimes life seems to be like an ocean that separates us from loved ones for what seems like an eternity. Yet, just like this song, my strength for holding on during those times of troubled waters is the love of others that I carry with me each day. Everything gets just a little better when I realize the love that I carry with me. What about you? Do you carry love with you?
The clouds come - but they will roll back
The waters swell - but they will part
The sun does shine in my heart for you!
So, until me meet again, I'll carry your love with me because it is my strength for holding on every minute and every second that I have to be gone <3
