George Duke Love Songs lyrics

Love songs, sweet love songs

Love songs, sweet, sweet, sweet love



Hasn`t every way to write a love song been written

Hasn`t every way to tell the story been told

Hasn`t everyone been moved and soothed by the melodies

Aren`t there other tales to be told, other stories to unfold

Haven`t we anything else to say

Or are we merely trapped to find another way

to say the same things

Don`t we have other thoughts, other dreams

It seems every time I search that quiet place

I find myself with you face to face in my mind

There`s nothing left to say except "I love you"



Hasn`t every way to sing a love song been sung

Hasn`t every way to phrase the message been done

Haven`t all the great ones sung the melodies that`ve wooed you

Aren`t there other songs to be sung with messages untold

Seems that we`ve lost our will to challenge

the mind and be a unique kind of artist and

friend, a teacher or prophet by pen

But wait, don`t get me wrong, I love a good,

good love song

One that gets me real good when I close my eyes

I only seem to find the words "I love you"

"I love you", I can`t help myself

And as long as you keep needin` them, I`ll

keep servin` `em till my last breath

No, I`m not alone, there`re others like you and me

`Cause there`s always someone who wants to

tell their story of need

And it`s a simple story, one as old as time

And we all know that sometimes love don`t have no reason or rhyme

Hingin` on to those love songs
