Lyrics to Alfie: www.lyricsdepot.com
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
I believe in love too. My husband is undergoing tests at the moment to see how far his cancer has spread. Every morning during my meditation over the last few years, my final affirmation is 'Let me support my husband as long as we're together'. Love will allow us to face whatever comes with dignity.
