The Power of Love
Air Supply Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been




Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn of the power of love

The whispers in the morning
The soft sounds heard in the early hours of the day


Of lovers sleeping tight
Made by two people who are deeply in love and clinging tightly to each other while sound asleep


Are rolling by like thunder now
Now loud and powerful like a thunderstorm


As I look in your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes


I hold on to your body
I embrace your physical form with my own


And feel each move you make
I can feel every gesture and motion you make


Your voice is warm and tender
Your tone is gentle and affectionate


A love that I could not forsake
An attachment too strong to abandon


'Cause you are my lady
Because you hold a special, unique place in my life


And I am your man
And I am devoted solely to you


Whenever you reach for me
Whenever you require my assistance or support


I'll do all that I can
I will put forth every effort to fulfill your needs or desires


Lost is how I'm feeling
I am experiencing a sense of abandon or aimlessness


Lying in your arms
While nestled in your embrace


When the world outside's too much to take
When the world at large is overwhelming and too much to bear


That all ends when I'm with you
My anxiety or sense of being overwhelmed dissolves when I am with you


Even though there may be times
Even though there may be occasions


It seems I'm far away
It appears that I am distant or unapproachable


Never wonder where I am
You should never doubt or question my whereabouts


'Cause I am always by your side
Because I am ever-present and unwavering in my loyalty and devotion to you


We're heading for something
Together, we are moving toward something significant


Somewhere I've never been
A new destination or milestone yet to be reached


Sometimes I am frightened
Occasionally, I am afraid or apprehensive


But I'm ready to learn of the power of love
However, I am open and prepared to understand the exceptional strength of love


The sound of your heart beating
The auditory sensation of your beating heart


Made it clear suddenly
Brought to light or made obvious suddenly


The feeling that I can't go on
The emotion of being unable to continue


Is light years away
Is incredibly far or distant

When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause you are my lady
And I'm your man
