Turning Everything into Love

I've got something to do for the rest of my life 
turning everything into love 
I won't torture myself, my kids or my wife 
I'm turning everything into love 

nobody knows me like you do 
nobody sees me clear through 
nobody's better than you 
at turning the same old me 
into something new 

I've got something to do till the end of my days 
turning everything into love 
forever we will be counting the ways 
of turning everything into love 

There's no magic sword stuck in a stone 
if we're lucky the world will leave us alone 
take your fingers off the phone 
we're blissfully, blissfully on our own 

We've got something to do in the next ten minutes 
turning everything into love 
we'll start up again as soon as we're finished 
turning everything into love 

 

Whoever comes through here 
all soaked in fear 
We'll treat her as our near and dear 
She'll come to know her very nature 
She'll see herself a perfect creature 

Somebody pinch me but not too hard 
somebody turn over another card 
and tell me how it has to be 
somebody listen this time to me 

I've got something to do as I live and breathe 
I'm turning everything into love 
it'll keep on turning after I leave 
turning everything into love 

We've got something to do till the end of our days 
forever we will be counting the ways
