Lyrics
Recognize certain lovers from the moment
Sympathize with the one's who can't decide
In disguise are the ones afraid to show it
When the love songs written are related from and to
The heart is in motion at the moment
And observe Cupid's arrow is in flight
Who deserves better luck from an endorsement
Than the one here given to the notion that love is still an art
And one that's still your own
The love we share are brush strokes'
Soft caress of canvas
Stretched across the heart
Wherein there lies the poem
You'd think this was a love song
A love song
Simplify if it helps you with the notion
And analyze words that wear their best disguise
It's all in your eyes you're the one who seeks devotion
From the one man given to the notion that love is still an art
And one that's still your own
The love we share are brush strokes'
Soft caress of canvas
Stretched across the heart
Wherein there lies the poem
You'd think this was a love song
A love song
Our love it will survive
Alive and on its own
?Cause you believe a bond goes deeper
That one lifetime a portion only shows
A journey down the road
That will protect and guide the watchful who surmise
And shift at every turn
Herein there lies the soul
Of every given love song written for the ongoing mystery of life
You help to write the soul
Of every given love song
A love song
