The Power of Love
Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams are like angels, they keep bad at bay
Love is the light scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down, I'll be around
With my undying death-defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling light, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me, hmm
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time, we go sublime
Lovers entwined, divine, divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure, the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky scraping dove
Flame on, burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
Make love your goal

I'm here because of my great taste in music
Edit: umm so I forgot this existed and it’s been 4 years but 13 year old me would be very happy to know she’s ✨famous now✨
Also a bit confused cause people commenting that it’s not great taste in music are still here listening to the song?
What did you think you achieved by disagreeing with the comment of an overly confident 13 year old girl ?💀 just shush and enjoy the song we know you love it🥰
Also ty for the likes I feel validated ✨
+ I hope everybody is staying safe in the pandemic ♡
