lyrics

Nothing Matters More Than This

Twisting and turning, trying to break free
The weight of the world is bearing down on me
All that I wanted is slipping through my hand
The road that I followed led nowhere
Those glittering prizes vanish in the air
And leave no trace like footprints in the sand

The work gets done and the bills get paid
The wounds will heal and the scars will fade
And we’ll forgive the mistakes we made meanwhile
When you get right down to the bottom of it
Nothing matters more than this
A gentle touch, a loving kiss, a smile

The hours we spent to get things done
The heartache we suffered when it went wrong
The hopes and the fears that seemed to burn so bright
The words that we wasted, the words we left unsaid
The hurt that we caused, the tears we shed
The memories fade into the night

When the fire’s lit and the flames are hot
And you’re making sense of what you’ve got
And of all that is and all that’s not worthwhile
When you get right down to the bottom of it
Nothing matters more than this
A gentle touch, a loving kiss, a smile

When the chips are down and the bets are on
The die is cast but the odds are long
And you flick the switch but the power’s gone …

The work gets done and the bills get paid
The wounds will heal and the scars will fade
And we’ll forgive the mistakes we made meanwhile
When you get right down to the bottom of it
Nothing matters more than this
A gentle touch, a loving kiss, a smile
When the fire’s lit and the flames are hot
And you’re making sense of what you’ve got
And of all that is and all that’s not worthwhile
When you get right down to the bottom of it
Nothing matters more than this
A gentle touch, a loving kiss, a smile
