I Don't Want To Lose Your Love
April Wine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Easy now, don't let our love go wrong
I'd never hurt you, or mean you any harm
Darling can't you see

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love

And if tomorrow would be easier for you
And there's nothing that I can say or I can do
Well darling, please come home

You know I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love

You're tellin' me that I've been foolish this time
You're tellin' me that I don't know my own mind
But darling can't you see

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love (love love love love)




Darling I need your love (love love love love)
Don't want to lose your love (love love love love)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to April Wine's song I Don't Want To Lose Your Love are about a person who is pleading and begging for their partner not to leave them. The singer is asking their partner not to let their love go wrong, while reassuring them that they would never hurt them or mean them any harm. The singer is so deeply in love with their partner that losing them would be unbearable, and they couldn't stand the pain or the thought of going insane without them. In the third verse, the partner tells the singer that they've been foolish this time and that they don't know their own mind, but the singer pleads with them not to leave and reassures them that they wouldn't want to lose their love.


The song's theme of not wanting to lose someone you love is a common sentiment in many love songs. However, the way it is expressed in this song is particularly heartfelt and desperate. The singer is willing to do anything to keep their partner from leaving, even if it means begging and pleading. The lyrics also suggest that the singer feels like they are at fault for the potential loss of their partner's love, which adds an additional layer of vulnerability and emotion.

What an amazing band, saw them open for Rush on their Farewell to Kings tour at Maple Gardens in Toronto back in the late 70s. They remind me of my teen years in the 70s. Such sweet memories such awesome music.

@danakeshen5355

April Wine is a truly great band that rates with some of the all-time best. I grew up in the 70's and their songs are timeless wonders, emanating from an epoch when it seemed as if the sun was going to shine forever.

@giovannaparente917

Best band for love ballads and with Myles Goodwyn sweet voice, everyone of them a hit. Sweet memories from the 70's and even 80's come to mind whenever I hear their songs. Thanks April Wine for romancing us.
