Why Love
Martin Tony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do I love you I love you not only for what you are
But for what I am when I'm with you
I love you not only for what you've made of yourself
But for what you're making of me
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good in me
Why do I love you I love you for closing your eyes to the dischords
And for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening
I love you because you're helping to make of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern but a temple
And out of the words of my everyday not a reproach but a song
I love you because you have done more than any creed to make me happy




You have done it without a word without a touch without a sign
You have done it just by being yourself and after all perhaps that's what love means

Мне 49, тож всю жизнь хард рок слушаю и Тони Мартина чаще всего. Удивляюсь, что Блэк саббат многие связывают с Оззи Осборном, хотя Осборн далеко не хардовый вокал имеет. Блэк саббат без Тони Мартина вообще Мурзилка какая-то

Был на его концерте с BS с туром «Headless Cross” - это было чудо !

This album is in the list of the best 600 rock/metal albums of all times in rock report web, so tony martin did it big by himself, he is still in demand as a vocalist even in 2021, he is still a great vocalist, thanks for sharing.
