Paul Mcilwaine posted the track on his collab site and once he approved the lyrics, we got busy. Paul's music brings out the best in me, and his fabulous guitar and great production makes the song. "The Cost of Lovin' You" my fave - Great Work Paul!

"The Cost Of Lovin' You" expresses the sacrifices we make for love, possibly a lifestyle change or just an emptiness when your soulmate is away. When the relationship is healthy, balanced and filled with smokin' passion as illustrated in the lyrics.....the majority count the cost and would "Do it all again!"

The Cost of Lovin' You
Shelia Sikes July 2009

Somebody...Somebody tell me when...
When will it end
These memories burning in my mind
The yearning in my heart

One look...Just one look in your eyes
I see a look of love you can't disguise
The way you hold me...hold me in your arms
The longing in our hearts

Lovin' you makes me blue
And if I only knew
The cost...the cost of lovin' you

I ask myself...I ask myself
What would you do?
What would you do?
If you only knew
The cost...the cost of lovin' you
What would you do?
I'd do it all again!
