it's all about the love...

This is one of my favorite Sade tunes (It's only love that gets you through)...an anthem for my strong female friends. The lyrics make me take pause to give thanks to my family and friends supporting me and encouraging me through the curvy road of my own life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Much love,
Donna

Girl you are rich even with nothing
And you know tenderness comes from pain
It's amazing how you love
And love is kind and love can give
And get no gain

It's down a rugged road you've come
Though you had every reason
You didn't come undone
Somehow you made it to the other side
You didn't suffer in vain

You forgive those who have trespassed against you
And you know tenderness comes from pain
It's amazing how you love
And love is kind and love can give
And love needs no gain

[Refrain]

You didn't suffer in vain
You know it's only love
That gets you through
Only love, it's only love
It's only love that gets you through
