Where Is Love Now
Jimmie Dale Gilmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without hope or knowing what to do
If I can watch the light fade away
Without fear or knowing what to say
Cry the tears from my eyes
Leave me here long enough to realize
Where is love now?
Out here in the dark
If I can hold all my dreams
Through the night of the way life sometimes seems
If I can't see where to go
I'll stay lost in silence 'til I know
Cry the tears from my eyes
Leave me here long enough to realize
Where is love now?
Where is love now?
Out here in the dark
Where is love now?
Where is love now?
Out here in the dark
