Love And Conviction
A Lifetime's Love: Jan Hellriegel's Poetic Journey of Passion and Reflection
Lyrics
LOVE AND CONVICTION
Love and Conviction
I've walked this earth a long time and I've done all kinds of things
I've experienced a lengthy life and engaged in various activities
Delivered fish to fancy restaurants, sold gold and bling and rings
Performed diverse tasks such as delivering fish, selling gold and jewelry
I've cleaned a lot of hotel rooms, sold beer in dirty bars
Engaged in cleaning hotel rooms and selling beer in less refined establishments
Packed records in cold warehouses and polished lots of cars
Worked in cold warehouses packing records and polishing cars
One thing I'd like to say right here and will say it loud
Expressing a strong declaration of love
Is that I've loved you with a passion in the here and in the now
Emphasizing passionate love in the present moment
Some things I'm really proud of and I don't mind if I share
Proud of certain accomplishments, open to sharing
Other things I've screwed right up they're whispers in the air
Acknowledging mistakes made, some undisclosed and lingering
I've met a lot of people I know I won't meet a second time
Encountered numerous individuals, realizing some interactions won't be repeated
Some friends have now departed and I know my wrongs from right
Reflecting on departed friends and distinguishing between right and wrong
One thing I'd like to say right here and I will say it loud
Reiterating a loud declaration of love
Is that I've loved you with a passion in the here and in the now
Reaffirming intense love in the present
I say it now to all who'll listen
Publicly stating love with emphasis
I've loved you long and I've loved you hard
Expressing enduring and intense love
I say it now and with conviction
Reiterating love with strong conviction
You have my love
Conveying the gift of love
You have my heart
Conveying the gift of the heart
Well there's been some pretty bad times and oh so many good
Recalling both challenging and joyous times
Sometimes I've been bewildered, other times I've understood
Experiencing confusion and clarity at different points
But I've always kept on loving you, never faulted from the path
Remaining steadfast in love despite hardships
Sometimes I've been defeated but I knew it wouldn't last
Facing defeat but acknowledging its temporary nature
One thing I'd like to say right here and I will say it loud
Reaffirming love loudly
Is that I've loved you with a passion in the here and in the now
Reiterating passionate love in the here and now
I say it now to all who'll listen
Publicly declaring love with insistence
I've loved you long and I've loved you hard
Emphasizing enduring and intense love
I say it now and with conviction
Reiterating love with unwavering conviction
You have my love
Affirming the gift of love
You have my heart
Affirming the gift of the heart
