L-O-V-E
John Tesh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me




Love was made for you
Love was made for me and you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John Tesh's song L-O-V-E are simple yet profound in the way they express the complexity of human emotions. The song describes how the singer feels towards their significant other, using the letters of the word "LOVE" to articulate their affection. The first verse spells out the word, explaining that "L" is for the way their lover looks at them, "O" is for the only one they see, "V" is for how extraordinary they are, and "E" is for how much more they mean to them than anyone else they adore.


In the chorus, the song takes on an even more powerful message, proclaiming that "love is all that I can give to you" and that "love was made for me and you." The second verse repeats the spelling of "LOVE" but adds that love is more than just a game for two and that two people in love can make it work as long as they don't break each other's hearts.


Overall, the message of the song is that love is a powerful force that can bring people together and make them stronger if they let it. The use of the spelling of "LOVE" may seem simple, but it adds an extra layer of meaning and evokes a childlike innocence that reminds us all of the importance of the simple things in life, like love.

l L-O-V-E THIS! This Brings back so many good memories of sitting in Studio when I had one the most awesome opportunities of my Life Time, to sit in as a VIP in studio, while this was being recorded for PBS. One of John's finest works, in Swing Style.

Jean Weigel

I just come alive when ever I hear and see this video and it takes me back to that Special PBS taping and VIP Invite for that Awesome Night of Taping in Studio. What an Honor and Privilege, too, to experience this live in Studio. Thanks, John Tesh and Band, Big Band Swing.

I was fortunate beyond words to see and hear John Tesh and this same group of top-flight professional musicians in New Philadelphia, OH on Valentine's Day evening a few years ago. Although I have certainly been to my share of concerts (jazz and big band), this ranked as one of the finest. I'm so gratified that many others love and appreciate this kind of music, albeit I'm not around them now, unfortunately.
