Love Doesn't Ask Why
CĂ©line Dion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance
Don't ask me if this feeling's right or wrong
It doesn't have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
'Cause when you're in my arms I understand

We don't have a voice
When our hearts make the choices
There's no plan
It's not in our hands

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Now I can feel what you're afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give too much away
But we can't let this moment pass us by

Can't question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try
Maybe we can try

(Love doesn't ask you why) it doesn't ask you why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

So let's take what we found
And wrap it around us

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
Don't you know
Don't you know that love
Baby
(Love doesn't ask you why) it doesn't ask you why
Speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that love, love, love (love doesn't think twice)
Comes all at once
Or whisper from a distance





Love doesn't ask you why

@Melanie-ve7bb

Celine Dion represents a chapter in my life that is difficult to describe,
He was French-Canadian,
I loved him very much, but we wanted different things from life,
He was one of my best friends,
Nothing can describe what I felt when I heard of his death,
He deserved a better end,
I had no idea he was still hanging onto me...
If I could change one thing, if I could go back in time,
I would wrap my arms around him and thank him for his friendship and tell him how much it meant to me
