Is Your Love Strong Enough?
Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And closer to destiny
I knew at a glance
There'd always be a chance for me
With someone I could live for
Nowhere I would rather be
[Chorus:]
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
And stranger than fantasy
I knew from the start
It had to be the place for me
Someone that I would die for
There's no way I could ever leave
[Chorus]
Is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Is your love strong enough? [Repeat: x4]
[Repeat: x4]
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
