Love like this is living And she lives to comfort him To reach his each and every need As his disease steals his motion He looses his life slowly So she sweats beeds for him No more can he move enough to sweat himself She's doubled hers instead And she would double it again Her life is lived for him And his is thanks to her Their life will never be the same again But they live today And so today she will wash him Tend his aches, heal his skin Massage his feet, give his nails a trim All with a gentle touch of passion She caresses him with admiration On each parting she expels desire for him And kisses him with adoration She will break her back for him if she has to And when he feels the pain She will wipe his tears away And she need not say a thing Because their minds read the same She holds herself as strong as she holds him And meanwhile he keeps his humour He does all he can Now all he has left is to love But with love this strong He will live on And on
