At the time of what many consider their biggest success-- with hits like Make Up Your Mind and Checking You Out-- the group was comprised of Washington, Curt Jones, Starleana Young and Phil Field. The band started off in 1980 signing to Dream Records and then Salsoul Records. A deal with Virgin offshoot Ten Records gave them success with songs such as the 1986 UK singles chart hit You and Me Tonight.

Legal issues over the name Aurra made Curt and Starleana change their name to Deja and with this name they only managed to reach number 75 with the Monte Moir penned single Serious. Starleana Young left the group to go solo, and was replaced by Mysti Day.

Send Your Love
Aurra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh-ooh, love
Send your love straight from your heart to all humanity
Show your love
Dedicate love to everybody

Now is the time to be real
You can feel all the joy serenity can bring
Take the time to stop and share a moment

Shake someone's hand
Try to make a new friend every day
Open your heart and show your love
Let love shine for mankind to see
Let's go together in harmony
Love is need today

So send your love
Spread it all over the world
Send your love (oh send you love)
Spread it all over the world

Send your love straight from your heart to all humanity
Show your love
Dedicate love to everybody

If we could only see
Love is in need more than we realize
Time we must value
And if we use it with love, we'll receive all the love we give

Send your love
Straight from your heart so everyone can feel it
(Show your love) Show your love and let it shine, shine
For all mankind
Open your heart and show your love
Let love shine for mankind to see
Let's come together in harmony
Love is in need today

So send your love
Spread it all over the world
Send your love (oh send you love)
Spread it all over the world

Send your love
Straight from your heart to all humanity
Show your love
Dedicate love to everybody
Send your love
Straight from your heart so everyone can feel it
Show your love
Show your love and let it shine for all mankind

Send your love
Straight from your heart so everyone can feel it
Show your love
Show your love let everyone know how you feel
Send your love
Show your love
Send your love
Love is what we need is what we need,
We need just a little more love

Show your love
(J. Ivory, P. Fields, S. Young)
