I’ve tasted love and I can’t return
All my doubts and fears are burned
I’ve been set free, a rescued soul
I’m finally out of the cold
I’ve tasted love and I can’t return

I’m growing old and I’ve been told that it won’t last
But I’ve tasted love, now I can’t go back

I have gained and I have lost
Joy accompanied the cost
I’ve been set free, a rescued life
I’m finally at home tonight
I’ve tasted love and I can’t return

I’m growing old and I’ve been told that it won’t last
I’ve tasted love, now I can’t go back
I’m growing old and I’ve been told that it won’t last
Oh, and let it be said, I’ve tasted love I will never go back

Love is here, calling me home
And now I can’t return

Take me home
I will sing, I can’t return
Love is here and it calls me home
I will sing, I can’t return

Behind the Song:
(October 2005 - September 2006 - a friend's tour bus and Hyde Park Studio - Houston) "I will always remember reading this quote after the death of a close friend: "As for me, I've tasted a little from every cup and grown through all of it. I have loved until I ached from loving, and wept until my heart was sick of tears. I have known life in all of its chaotic complexity and utter simplicity, its outrageous gains and tragic losses, its devastating pain and exhilarating joy - and looking back, I would not change or undo one moment, even if I could." — Marilee Zdenek This song is rooted out of that experience." - Robbie Seay
