May God Love You (Like You've Never Been Loved) - Over the Rhine

With the darkness surely falling

May I propose a toast?

Is it sacrilegious dancing

In the light of all we’ve lost?

Open and woundable

Good evening, I’m your host

May God love you like you’ve never been loved

Is your heart beating sadness

The longest goodbye yet?

Share your bruises on my body

That’s as close as we can get

I’ll never say I’m sorry for offering respect

May God love you like you’ve never been loved

There is no land of promise here

There’s only wilderness

You may not recognize this place

You live here nonetheless

There are no wise men traveling

There is no gift to bring

But if you welcome home a child

You’ve thrown your hat into the ring

We’re not curable, but we’re treatable

And that’s why I still sing

May God love you like you’ve never been loved

May God love you like you’ve never been loved

May God love you like you’ve never been loved

May God love you like you’ve never been loved
