Be My Love
Bostic Earl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you, for me eternally
Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you, for me eternally

I remember when my father bought the album that had this song on it. We went to Troup's music store in Harrisburg, Pa. Back then, they'd let you listen to a record in a sound proof room with a phonograph before buying it. My dad asked me if I liked it before he bought it. Funny thing though is that I think the tempo was a bit faster than this. But fast or slow this is probably my favorite Earl Boston tune.
