For The Sake of Love

 

                                                        "For You I Will" by Johnny Myers

For the sake of love, one will almost do anything
It can make you act silly, or love song make you sing
It can take you up, or to your knees it can bring
For the sake of love, one will do most anything

Love has a way of taking a strong grip
It can be gentle, or your heart it can rip
It can build you up, or your dignity it can strip
For the sake of love no journey is too long a trip

For the sake of love you will deny even yourself
To only think of the one you love, and no one else
Love can make you feel important, or empty after it has left

Why is this thing we call love so strong
Why for the sake of love, so many things go wrong
It can be felt in the soul, even deep, deep down in the bones
It can make one feel so complete, or even all alone
What is it’s power, where is it’s home

For the sake of love, a king will leave his throne
A mother will leave her children all alone
for the sake of love A husband might stop coming home

For the sake of love, the sun may only set for you
Your horizons may be bright, for you love might know what to do
But for another, because of love, their heart is blue
For the sake of love, you, and only you must decide what to do
