The Power of Love
Judith Van Hel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
Oh the power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
The song "The Power of Love" by Judith Van Hel begins with a description of the intimacy shared between two lovers. The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight and rolling by like thunder now, as the singer looks into her lover's eyes. She holds on to her lover's body, feeling each move he makes, and is comforted by his warm and tender voice, a love that she could not forsake. These lines express the depth of the singer's emotions and commitment to her lover, establishing their bond as one of passion and trust.
The chorus reveals that the singer is her lover's lady, and he is her man. She will do all that she can whenever he reaches for her, signifying her willingness to offer support and love at all times. The singer speaks of feeling lost and overwhelmed by the outside world, but everything falls into place when she is with her lover. Even though there may be times when it seems as though she is far away, he can always count on her being by his side.
The last verse expresses the power of love as the feeling that she cannot go on fades away, light years away when she is with her lover. They are heading for something somewhere they have never been, and she is frightened but ready to learn about the power of love. The repeated refrain of "the power of love" emphasizes the strength of their connection and suggests that love can overcome any obstacle.
