Elephant Love Medley
Alessandro Safina; Ewan McGregor Lyrics

Love is a many splendored thing
Love is a complex and magnificent emotion

Love lifts us up where we belong
Love gives us a sense of purpose and belonging

All you need is love!
Love is the essential ingredient for happiness

Please, don't start that again
Asking someone to avoid bringing up a familiar topic

A girl has got to eat
A person needs food to survive

Or she'll end up on the streets
A person who lacks basic necessities may become homeless

Love is just a game
Love can be considered as a competition or a challenge

I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
Feeling like two people are destined to be in love

The only way of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee
Making a joke about the commercialization of love

Just one night, give me just one night
Asking for a chance to be together for a short time

There's no way, 'cause you can't pay
Rejecting the idea of paying for love

In the name of love, one night in the name of love
Asking for a night of passion in the name of love

You crazy fool, I won't give in to you
Rejecting someone's advances and calling them crazy

Don't leave me this way
Pleading for someone not to end a relationship

I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby
Expressing a deep dependence on a partner for love and support

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
Wondering why people still write and listen to romantic songs

I look around me and I see, it isn't so, oh no
Observing that people still enjoy love songs despite any criticism

Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
Acknowledging that some people are passionate about romantic music

Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know
Defending the worthiness of romantic music

Here I go again!
Expressing the excitement of singing another love song

Where eagles fly, on a mountain high
Describing the uplifting feeling of being in love

Love makes us act like we are fools
Sometimes love can make people behave in irrational ways

Throw our lives away, for one happy day
Being willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of happiness

We could be heroes! Just for one day
The idea of love making people feel like heroes

You, you will be mean
Anticipating someone acting harshly or cruelly

No I won't!
Defending oneself against accusations of being mean

And I, I'll drink all the time
Admitting to the negative behavior of drinking excessively

We should be lovers
Expressing a desire to be in a romantic relationship

We can't do that
Acknowledging that being lovers may not be possible for some reason

Though nothing, will keep us together
Feeling confident that nothing can break apart a strong relationship

We could steal time
Proposing the idea of sneaking away to spend time together

Just for one day
For a brief but meaningful moment

We could be heroes, forever and ever
The idea of a romantic relationship being heroic and long-lasting

Just because I will always love you
The enduring nature of love

I can't help loving you
Feeling powerless against the strength of one's love for someone

How wonderful life is
Expressing the joy of a fulfilled life through love

Now you're in the world
The idea that love makes everything in the world feel brighter
