Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, that's where I belong
Yeah, and I run into her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yeah, when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yeah, and I need her in the daytime (I need her)
Yeah, and I need her in the night (I need her)
Yeah, and I want to throw my arms around her (I need her)
And kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight
Yeah, when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin', brighten up my day
Yeah, and it make me righteous, yeah, and it make me whole
Yeah, and it make me mellow down into my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

@Andy @Alan B,
@Elston Gunn, Jesus!
I don't understand why music lovers have to sound like spoiled children arguing "mine is better, he's better, Bob is better than Van, Van is better than Bob...!!"
Enjoy, appreciate and thank the Lord for the gift of creativity some artists are blessed with and just
CHILL !!! 🙏✝️✌🏼
....and @Jordan Johnson that started this competitive useless thread.
Bob and Van were/are good friends. Let's be thankful for the music they made...both alive & well touring this earthly plane :)

Moondance, the album on which this song first appeared, came out in 1970. It was immediately a favorite, and I listened to it a lot, and was still listening in 1973 when I met a woman who gave me crazy love the likes of which I didn't know existed in the world. This song was part of the sound track of our long and crazy love affair, right up until her death 6 months ago. It's one of the things I listen to when I want to cry a little while remembering her. I can still hear her heart beat, and her sweet loving still makes me righteous and whole and mellow down into my soul.

This is one of the finest pieces of anything on the entire internet. Aren't you glad we're able to share it with each other right now, somehow and someway? That's beautiful. That's the good part of this thing. So – love to you and yours – wherever you are.

Love love love this video. I play this when im feeling down, when i'm feeling up, when i'm not sure how to feel. There is something about the harmony in their voices together that rattles my soul. From the warpy sound at the begining to the rough road this track takes, all the way to the heartache of wonderfulness it leaves you with.
