I know I write this a lot but this is one of my favorite songs! All These Things is from the MAGNIFICENT Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint collaboration The River in Reverse. This is an album I listened to over and over and over again while I was sulking in my garage working on cars and scooters. I was sad because I felt there was absolutely no way I could ever make it in this world as it is. Now I realize that “making it” is a false illusion. This place needs to change!
"All These Things"
The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand
Your sweet hello
The fire inside you
When you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
If you should leave me
I surely would die
You started to go
I started to cry
I've got it bad
But that's alright
As long as you're with me every night
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
If I should live forever
The only thing that I want to do
With all that time
Would be to give forever
All of my love, all my love
To you
Your love so warm and tender
The thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
