Love Song
Kelly Sweet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Have your eyes really seen?
You say,
"It's very hard to leave behind the life we knew."
There's no other way
And now it's really up to you
'Cause love is the key we must turn
And truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom, the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one would offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
(Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one would offer you more)
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
