Darlin' That's What Your Love Does

(Hugh Prestwood)

Early this morning before you awoke
There was mist on the creek while the cigarette's smoked
And when the sun rose up and burned off the cold
The smoke turned to silver and then turned to gold.

Darlin' that's just what your love does
That's what it does with a kiss
I'm not the man that I just was
Love don't get deeper than this.

When I was young and my daddy was gone
I'd go to sleep with the radio on
Sometimes they'd played such a beautiful song
Me and the Sand Man would sing all night long.

Darlin' that's just what your love does
When you just whispered my name
I'm not the man that I just was
Nothing about me's the same.

Darlin' by this time tomorrow
There's no telling who I might be
Your love just keep changin' me.

And I've come to think that the heart's like a kite
And in the best breeze it still cannot take flight
Until someone ties it and takes it in tow
And it floats around heaven until it lets go.

Darlin' that's just what your love does
That's what it does with a touch
I'm not the man that I just was
Darlin' I need you that much.

Darlin' that's just what your love does
That's what it does with a kiss
I'm not the man that I just was
Love don't get deeper than this...
