Liner Notes

Who can resist great lyrics for a love song? Not me! Doug Haberman provided an interesting look at how love is when you're no longer a desperate teenager and can enjoy the tenderness of love at a slower pace.

Doug: Thank you, Paul! It came out very sweet and gentle and full of warmth.

Lyrics

You wake up one day
You’re not young anymore
The years have flown so quickly
What the heck is it all for?

Does it add up to anything?
Then suddenly you smile
'Cause you turn and see that someone
Who makes it all worthwhile

Sing me a slow, slow love song
'Cause life goes by too fast
Sing me a slow, slow love song
And let it last
Sing me a slow, slow love song
With a melody that charms
And I will dance till midnight
With my baby in my arms

At times life saps you
Like dark clouds that hide the sun
If someone’s love has lifted you
Then you’re a lucky one

Sing me a slow, slow love song
'Cause life goes by too fast
Sing me a slow, slow love song
And let it last
Sing me a slow, slow love song
With a melody that charms
And I will dance till midnight
With my baby in my arms

Love is a healing touch
Love is a special kiss
Love is a look in a pair of eyes
So full of tenderness

Sing me a slow, slow love song
'Cause life goes by too fast
Sing me a slow, slow love song
And let it last
Sing me a slow, slow love song
With a melody that charms
And I will dance till kingdom come
With my baby in my arms

Slow love songs are delightful, especially when written and performed as beautifully as this...

You must have been listening to my brother and I at breakfast yesterday, bemoaning our aging process and aches and pains (and, yes--our significant others). Great collaboration, guys! ❤️

Can absolutely relate to these lyrics. I like how there’s nothing flash about them, they just speak plain truth. Paul’s earnest and classic-sounding melody fits perfectly. I particularly love the second half of the chorus - it’s nice when you have a repeated hook with different melodic treatments each time, just adds lovely nuance to the song. Well done, gents.

some very special lyrics from doug are sung perfectly from paul's heart. the music fits these lyrics so well that the song is now embeddded in my brain.
