“‘The More I Love My Life’ was a real joy to put together,” Walden shares. “I wrote the lyrics with Jeffrey Cohen, and after I recorded the main parts I asked Carlos to play guitar on it. That’s when I got the idea for harmonica, so I asked Stevie Wonder if he would like to play on it. A while later...
[Chorus]
The more I love my life
Exactly how it is
The more I love my life
The more I feel your kiss
[Narada Michael Walden]
I'm waking up
Cause I wasn't born to suffer
I opened up my heart
And left the past behind
So many pictures
How a life should be
But nothing ever matched
And I wasn't getting free
[Chorus]
The more I love my life
Exactly how it is
The more I love my life
The more I feel your kiss
[Sting]
I'm a drunk
But you are my only drink
As soon as I get up
And when I go to sleep
Only only love
You are right now
Your taste is twice as sweet
Since I found out how
[Chorus]
The more I love my life
Exactly how it is
The more I love my life
The more I feel your kiss
Kiss me! Hey!
I know why so many are so sad
They only want from life
What never can be had
Only if we give
Life another chance
Maybe we find the grace
To get crazy
And dance
The more I love my life
Exactly how it is
The more I love my life
The more I feel your kiss
Kiss me! Hey!

[Chorus]
The more I love my life
Exactly how it is
The more I love my life
The more I feel your kiss
