Infectious, soulful tune built on a repeating guitar riff. Cynical lyric juxtaposed against a danceable, upbeat melody. Wrote it soon after a big fire came thru wiped out a large number of homes where I live.
lyrics
Love, Love, Love
by John Beccia
CHORUS - Well I say... Love, love, love can be an illusion
Like a magician’s sleight of hand,
like an oasis in the sand can disappear
Yeah I say... Love, love, love can lead to confusion
Just like a fire sweeping through
will only leave you sifting through what you had there
We all have a dream, a dream in the night
Of someone whose touch is so warm
Of meeting someone who’ll treat you so right
And make love feel like it’ s reborn
REPEAT CHORUS
But then we awake, and lay all alone
Relations have ended in tears
Reality’s wind can chill to the bone
And bring out the worst of our fears
REPEAT CHORUS
Don’t lay all your hope, upon all your dreams
That leave you alone in the dark
The twisting of fate, the breaking of hearts
As everything ends, something starts
REPEAT CHORUS
Well I say... Love, love, love (love, love, love)
Love, love, love (love, love, love)
Well I say.....Love, love love.....love you once had here
Yeah I say... Love, love, love (love, love,love)
Love, love, love (love, love, love)
Love, love love...love can disappear
