If That Ain't Love Lyrics - Sing The Delta - Iris Dement

#6 If That Aint Love 

My dad worked at the Movieland Wax Museum 

He was the guy who kept the cobwebs off Sophia Loren 

Every morning at five hed get up and go to work 

Wearing his name across the pocket of his shirt 

My mother told me, out back of that place there was a shed 

And every chance he could, hed slip out there and bow his head 

While he was prayin I was up the road at school 

But, I know, my name was presented to that God that he was talkin to 

And if that aint love, this mountain is just a hill 

If that aint love, waters what theyre making in that still 

If that aint love, the truest kind 

If that aint love, stars in heaven dont shine 

Im driving to the drugstore listening to my radio 

And there she is talking to me, the beautiful Queen of Soul 

I pull off on the shoulder, Its just more than I can stand 

Aretha Franklin singing Precious Lord Take My Hand.
