My Strength lies in your Loving

The power of love... with a scored trad jazz backing

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2004

My Strength lies in your Loving

E E7
You ask why I want you, why I keep coming ‘round
A Am
I say hush just hold me, don’t make another sound
B B6 B
Just wrap your arms around me like the tendrils of a vine
E E7 A Am7 E B7
My strength lies in your loving, that’s why I need your loving all the time

When I’m working in the city and my spirit starts to fray
And I’m thinking it’s a pity life has to be this way
Still I know when I get back to my pretty I’ll be untainted by the grime
My strength lies in your loving, that’s why I need your loving all the time

A Am7
When I’m in your arms
E E7
I am king
A Am7
When I’m in your arms
B
The winners and losers and duffers and dosers
B+3 B
Just don’t mean a thing
E E7 A Am
You ask why I want you, my angel sublime
B B+ B A Am Am7 Am6 E
My strength lies in your loving, that’s why I need your loving all the time
