A Line to Loving You
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey

Just when everything within my life seemed so determined
You came into my life just like a dream
And don’t you know it’s true, my love, your heart speaks like a sermon
Of a priest whose found his God is everything
Tell me where love and life lead
And tell me what pain you’re going through
And what are the answers to those questions of our past?
What of the strength to see us through?

And deep within my soul there lay a yearning unrequited
An eternal light we deign to call the truth
It takes me to the promised land of a movement undivided
And returns me to the shadow of my youth

Tell me where love and life lead
And tell me what pain you’re going through
And what are the answers to those questions of our past?
What of the strength to see us through?

And don’t you know that I’d love to get to know you
But letting go’s the hardest thing to do
And it breaks my heart to know I’ll never find you again
Yet your heart remains a line to loving you

And now my life’s become a kind of reverential journey
Whence to die amidst the snowflakes of the past
Never to alight upon this beauty I’ve been learnin’
Has been lost within the shadows that I’ve cast

Tell me where love and life lead
And tell me what pain you’re going through
And what are the answers to those questions of our past?
What of the strength to see us through?
That strength is me and you
