Roy Clark - Love Is Just a State of Mind lyrics

rate me

(Red Lane - Joe Allison)

I'll stay with you if you say stay

But I must leave you when I must

I'll stay as long as we can last

And leave when laughter turns to rust.

The day the fireworks fail to flash

And mental light refuse to shine

We'll know it's time for someone else

For love is just a state of mind.

If you can say it like it is

And if I like to hear it said

I'll carve your image on my heart

And make sure that your soul is fed.

But one day the words break step

And if one ego lags behind

You column left, I'll column right

For love is just a state of mind.

Keep yourself but give me room

I want some place to think aloud

And if you can your chain will reach

From ocean floor to shining cloud.

When the shackles feel too tight

Or when restrictions start to blind

It's time to breathe instead of choke

For love is just a state of mind.

If my words are worry things

And if I make your mouth turn down

Then take your apprehensive love

And leave me now without a sound.

But if you take me as I am

And love me one day at a time

I may stay a thousand years

For love is just a state of mind.

For love is just a state of mind...
