Donna,

You do have a lovely voice, very folksy-sounding, like Peter, Paul and
Mary, smile.

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

Hi Friends,
We have several songwriters on this list, myself included, and for those
who are new, we occasionally post lyrics. I wanted to post these  for
Valentine's Day, but I wanted to give you a link to actually hear the
songs, and I was having trouble with Sound Cloud. 

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
Life," but for me, it continues and plays the other two tracks I have
uploaded to Sound Cloud, "That's What Love is Like" and a very short
clip of our frogs. I didn't include the lyrics of the frog songs *grin*
So, let me know how it works for you. A friend on Twitter said she got
just the one song.

If you don't hear the 2nd song, this is it's link (and,  again for me it
goes on to play the other tracks):

"Love of My Life" words and music by Donna Hill,  

Chorus (song starts with chorus):

No matter how long it takes me,

 I'm gonna keep right on looking for you,

 Yeah, you, Love of my life,

 No matter how far away it makes me go,

 I'm gonna keep right on going for you,

 Yeah, you, Love of my life.

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.

Chorus.

"That's What Love is Like" words & music by Donna Hill

1. 

You may think you'll find it under 

Sunny skies or rain and thunder,

Spend your whole life lost in wonder, 

And Heaven knows you might. 

You may think it's in the stars 

Or fancy clothes and brand new cars, 

Folks who won't know who you are 

Until you're out of sight.

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,

'cause love is love and that's what love is like.

2. 

You may try to live without it, 

Tell yourself how much you doubt it, 

Never learn a thing about it

 And stumble through the night,

You may try to keep it from you,

 Run away and hide as some do,

 Join the ranks of those who've come 

to perish in the fight.

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.

Bridge:   

You don't want to miss this one this time, 

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.

3.         

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.
