What I Did For Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
We did what we had to do
And I can't regret what I did for love
What I did for love
Hey, look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
But I won't forget what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never, never, never gone
As we travel on, sweet love's what we'll remember
Now, honey, kiss today good, ah, kiss and goodbye
And then point me, point me toward tomorrow
Wish me luck, would you do that baby?
I do it for you
Can't forget (can't forget)
And I won't regret (won't regret)
What I did, what I did for love
Gone, love is never, ever, ever gone
As we travel on, sweet love's what we'll remember
Kiss today, kiss and goodbye
Point me toward tomorrow
And wish me luck, would you do that baby?
I do the same, ooh, I do it for you, eh
Can't forget (can't forget)
Won't regret (won't regret)
What I did, what I did for love
What I did for love
What I did for love
