Love Theme
Barry White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Play our love's theme tonight
My love's here, it's no dream tonight
It"s been so long
Since we've danced to our love song
I know the melody that made him mine
Will be the melody that keeps him close to me (love's theme)

Play our love's theme once more
Make him feel, like he felt before
While the lights are low
Please, let the music flow
I know that the melody that made him mine
Will be the melody that keeps him close to me (love's theme)

Play our love's theme again
Touch his heart, touch his soul and then
Once we sip the wine
His lips will come to mine
I know that the melody that made him mine




Will be the melody that keeps him close to me
Love's theme

Overall Meaning

Barry White's Love Theme is a passionate, sensual tribute to the enduring power of melody in romantic relationships. The song speaks of an abiding love that has endured over time and distance, but which remains vibrant and urgent in the present moment. It begins with a plea to play "our love's theme" - a reference to the song that has come to define their relationship, and the one that has summoned them together once again. The singer reassures their lover that their presence is real, and that this moment is not a dream. They have been apart for a long time, but the love that they share remains steadfast and true.


Throughout the song, the singer entreats the musicians to play the couple's "love's theme" over and over again. For them, this is more than a song - it is the essence of their connection. The music transports them back to a time when their passion was new, and rekindles the same emotions they felt then. As they dance together, they are reminded of the passion that brought them together in the first place. As the song concludes, the couple drink to their love, knowing that the melody that brought them together will keep them close forever.
