[stylist] Two song lyrics & link - a belated happy Valentine's Day

[Lynda Lambert]

Thanks, Donna. I really enjoyed listening to your songs as I had my morning 
coffee today. My husband walked by and said, "What are you listening to?"  I 
told him, and he said, "Wow, she has a beautiful voice."  Lovely!

> Hi Friends,

>
> The lyrics to two songs will be below my name. The first (Love of My Life)
> is from the perspective of someone looking for love, the second (That's 
> What
> Love is Like) is a whimsical definition of love.

> Here is a link which is supposed to just automatically play "Love of My

> Verse 1:
>
> House full of strangers, street full of fools,
>
> Ignoring all the dangers and breaking all the rules,
>
> Here in the free world more and more it seems,

> You can go with the flow, if you want to,

> And drown in the mainstream.

> Chorus: ...

> Verse 2
>
> Pounding the pavement day after day,

> So many people with nothing much to say,

> Caught in a maze without any clue,
>
> If I weren't looking for you,
>
> What would I be doing?

> Chorus: ...

> Verse 3
>
> I know you're out there just like me,

> Searching for someone who's willing to be,

> Shoulder to shoulder, partners and friends,
>
> We might find each other
>
> just around the next bend.

> Spend your whole life lost in wonder,

> Chorus #1:
>
> Love, like the tide that ebbs and flows,

> Like a seed that grows and grows,

> Where it starts and where it goes,
>
> No one knows, no one knows,

> You may try to live without it,

> Tell yourself how much you doubt it,

> Never learn a thing about it

> Run away and hide as some do,

> Join the ranks of those who've come

> Chorus #2:
>
> Love, like the earth that turns and turns,
>
> In each empty heart it yearns,
>
> 'Round and 'round the feelings churn

> They burn and burn, burn and burn
>
> 'cause love is love and that's what love is like.

> You don't want to be left on your own,

> The road of life is hard enough to climb

> Harder still to make it on your own.

> When at last you've finally found it,
>
> Wrap your arms so tight around it,
>
> Wake to find yourself surrounded
>
> Everywhere in light,

>
>
> You may try to keep it to you,
>
> But, as it changes and renews you,
>
> Somehow, it just flows right through

> To everyone in sight.

> Chorus #3:
>
> Love is more than just the 2 of us,
>
> It always is, it always was,
>
> And, love does everything it does,
>
> Just because, just because,
>
> Love is love, and that's what love is like.
