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.
I know that lyin' is a sin
As I'm lyin' here with you
But the kind of love I'm in
Makes it hard not to
So we may as well sleep in
Though there are other things to do
'Cause the world feels like it should
When I'm makin' love to you
Where the river flows
Into the sea
Only heaven knows how
Your love flows through me
You're in my bones
And in my dreams
You're the one I love the most
And the rest stays between you and me and the Holy Ghost
Oh you're not my first love
And you may not be my last
But ask me if I give a damn
If I fall in love too fast
Oh, it will take you with the tide
It may move you far and wide
Me, I'm happy just to be here
By your side
Oh, the world cold
And the winter long
So you're growing old
And your love is gone
Spring is taking her sweet time
But surely she will come
If there's one thing that I know
It's that love is a design on everyone
Oh I don't know why the world is spinnin' 'round
Or why the sky is blue
I don't know how you are the one that I found
But I'm happy that the world goes 'round when I'm makin' love to you
Yeah life is sweet and God is good when I'm makin' love to you
This old world feels like it should when I'm makin' love to you
