| ©Linda Allen 1988 NOTHING'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOVE I went out walkin' with a friend yesterday She was laughin' and smilin' all the way I'd come to comfort, she had almost lost her life But instead she had a few things to say She said, Nothing's more important than love in the world Nothing's more important than love When it's all said and done and there's no place to run Nothing's more important than love Cancer got my mother and it almost got me No way to know - it might get me yet But my body's been rockin' in the love of my friends It's a lesson I'll never forget CHORUS What seemed important just a short time ago Seems like nothing - just dust in the wind And I thank heaven for each new day of life It may seem simple, but I'll say it again CHORUS For my friend, Cathy Hayward, who taught me about dying well. |
