Liner Notes

Once again, I've had the privilege of working with a set of lyrics that Liz has created. My interpretation is that being in love matters more than who you choose, hence the line, "love is love is love".

This song took me longer than usual to put together, I like to play with chords and that play in the bridge created a trail to a different key. That left me with the dilemma - do I rewrite the music for the bridge so it stays in key or do I transpose the verse and chorus for the second half of the song. In the end, I kept the key change. The song now starts in G and ends in D.

Lyrics

On Love

V
some express love
through metaphors in verse
some portray love
through their beautiful words
some define love
through abstract images
some give us love
through truths they’ve lived

C
love is love is love
the ultimate
of life’s work

love is love is love
the miracle
beyond birth

B
to love one another
is an arduous task
the bond between two
is a miracle that lasts
the test and the proof
is when giving is true
the love that is shared
protects solitude

C
love is love is love
the ultimate
of life’s work

love is love is love
the miracle
beyond birth

V
some express love
through metaphors in verse
some portray love
through their beautiful words
some define love
through abstract images
some give us love
through truths they’ve lived

C
love is love is love
the ultimate
of life’s work

love is love is love
the miracle
beyond birth

lovely lyric from liz and paul sings it very lovingly. i dont see love as a verb, but as a noun..a place where you are either in or out of. and when two people are in that place together, they are in love. they dont have to do any thing. they are simply there.
