Searching For Love
BeBe Winans/CeCe Winans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And wonder what life is all about
If there's a purpose or a plan
Or does it happen by chance?
Do you ever think why
Things always turn out right
No matter how bad
You'll find your way again
And now I know nothing else matters
For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know it's for love alone
Time flies so fast
Live each day like it's the last
Cherish what you have
When it's gone you can't go back
Cause' at the end of the day
When we are face to face
I won't be afraid
I am glad to say
I've learned how to keep it all together
And now I know nothing else matters
For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know it's for love alone
What I have inside, it will never die
For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know it's for love alone
"Searching for Love" by BeBe Winans and CeCe Winans is a song about finding purpose and meaning in life through the power of love. The lyrics speak to the idea that life may be unpredictable at times, but that love is a constant force that can help guide us through our struggles. The first verse asks some introspective questions about the purpose of life and whether it is predetermined or a matter of chance. The second verse urges the listener to live in the present moment and cherish what they have, for life is fleeting and the opportunity to do so may not last. The chorus ties the theme together, stating that the purpose of life and our reason for being is love.
The lyrics also express a sense of personal growth and transformation. The lines "I've learned how to keep it all together / And now I know nothing else matters" signify a shift in the singer's perspective, indicating that they have overcome a personal struggle and now realize that love is the most important thing in life. This message is reinforced throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and remaining open to love, regardless of what challenges may arise.
Overall, "Searching for Love" is a powerful reminder that love is what gives our lives meaning and purpose. It encourages us to embrace love in all its forms and to strive to live our lives with kindness, compassion, and authenticity.

The background arrangement is OUT OF THIS WORLD, you can hear Bebe singing lead, than you hear Luther singing in the background, but he’s not singing with the rest of the background, so you’re hearing 3 different sets of vocal’s through out the entire song. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
@user-jy5nr9yb5r

@mgmaclamar
Luther Vandross did a great job with this song, his signature is all over it.
@decariusspells9817
What was the actual name of the Song Luther did. I cannot seem to find it using "Searching For Love," nor using "It's Real."
@mgmaclamar
@@decariusspells9817 the title is “Searching for love(It’s real)”
@mgmaclamar
@@decariusspells9817 it’s on the album Different Lifestyles/1991
@s0nginmyh3art
The song is already beautiful. Then, you add Luther’s signature vocals and it becomes transcendent 💕
