Power of Love/Love Power
Luther Vandross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love
Did you know that your feelings show
You thought, your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love
So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love
You can't deny it, so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You've got to feel the power
Yeah, yeah
So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it's the power of love
So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love
Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that you can't deny
Is the power of love
When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah
We've got love, power
It's the greatest power of them all, ooh ooh
We've got love, power
And together we can't fall
We've got love (love) power (power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (love), we got all the power (power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good love
(We've got love) ooh, we've got love (power), yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) love, love, love (power)
(And together) together (we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got
(We've got love) If we've got love (Power)
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) tell the world we got love (power) tell the people about it
(And together we can't fall) and it's all because we've got, we've got
We've got love (love), all of the power (power)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me
We've got more love (love), more of the power (power)
And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall
We can't fall (love) when there's a love power (power)
'Cause it's the greatest power of them all
The song "Power Of Love/Love Power" is a reflection on the power of love in relationships. Luther Vandross sings that he is never really saying goodbye to his lover because he knows that their love will always find a way back to each other. The power of love, for him, is something that he can feel when he is close to his partner through the warmth of their affection and connection.
The chorus of the song is a celebration of love, and Vandross invites his listeners to hold him closer and feel the power of love every minute of every hour. He argues that love is a feeling that can't be denied, and that if everyone believed in love, then the world would be a better place. Love, for Vandross, is the most powerful and transformative force that can bring people together and make them one.
Overall, "Power Of Love/Love Power" is a touching and uplifting tribute to the power of love, which Vandross believes can help us overcome any obstacle that life might throw our way. Through the magic of melody and lyrics, Vandross presents us with a vision of love that inspires us to love more deeply and to believe in the transformative power of love.

I am a retired teacher. I had a 40 minute drive to work. When I would get about 10-15 minutes away from work, I would play this song, and if I timed it right, I would cruise into the parking garage as it ended. (I might have to repeat it!) No matter how I felt on any day, this was the perfect song to reach into my heart and call forth the spirit necessary to teach. Thank you, Luther Vandross; your Love Power lives on. May you rest in peace.
