Living is my way
Jeff Hardy © 1969

Living is my way of dying is my way of loving is my way of living
Giving is my way of taking is my way of loving is my way of giving
And when I hold your hand I feel the pain
And when you love me soft I cry again
Because every day for us has just begun
And you know that we are one

Working is my way of playing is my way of loving is my way of working
Laughing is my way of crying is my way of loving is my way of laughing
And when your fingers tease my shivering spine
I feel the touch of you is part of mine
Because all our flesh from Eve to us has come
And you know that we are one

Seeing is my way of touching is my way loving is my way of seeing
Dreaming is my way of waking and loving is my way of dreaming
And while our moment makes a fool of time
I hear the clock defend its pantomime
Because everything revolves around the sun
And you know that we are one

I wrote this song when I was 21 years old and living in a Catholic boarding home in Sacramento, California. I sang the song at several weddings.
