Perhaps love
Domingo & Denver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
In Domingo & Denver's song "Perhaps Love", the lyrics describe love in different ways, trying to define what it means in various contexts. The song starts by comparing love to a "resting place", a "shelter from the storm" that gives comfort and keeps you warm. In times of trouble, the memory of love brings one home - this suggests that love acts as a source of stability and hope during tough times.
The second verse compares love to "a window" or "an open door" - it invites one to come closer and discover more. Even when one loses themselves and doesn't know what to do, love's memory will see them through. This implies that love acts as a beacon of hope that can help one find their way when they're lost.
The chorus highlights the different ways that people perceive love. Some see love as a cloud, while others view it as strong as steel. For some, love is a way of living or feeling, and for others, it may be something that involves holding on or letting go. The lyrics suggest that love is multifaceted, which may contribute to the ambiguity and mystery of the emotion.
The final verse compares love to the ocean, full of conflict and pain, but also like a fire that warms during cold weather and a thunder that intensifies during the rain. The lyrics then shift into a more personal perspective, saying that if the singer lives forever and achieves all their dreams, their memories of love will be of someone specific.
Overall, "Perhaps Love" is a song that tries to define love in multiple ways, ranging from comforting to mysterious and painful, and shows how memories of love can be cherished.

My Father had Alzheimers and shortly before he died he wanted to hear this song, he sang the chorus to me and I remembered the album growing up. I found it on You Tube and sat beside his hospital bed and played it over and over. He sang it to me and it is a memory that I cannot find words to describe. When I sit and think of my Father I put this video on and listen to this beautiful song.

I sung this to my son as he was dying of cancer. I wanted to sing him out. I sang some of his favorite songs to him right before I had to leave the room so they could take Chad off the respirator. Chad was 22.â€ïž
