The Power of Love
Mouskouri Nana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by light thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to you darling
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

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 is too much to take
That all ends when I am 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
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
The sound of your heartbeat
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

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

Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Line by Line Meaning

Whispers in the morning
Soft, gentle sounds of communication at the beginning of the day

Of lovers sleeping tight
Lovers in a deep, peaceful sleep holding each other tightly

Are rolling by light thunder now
The sounds of the morning are gradually getting louder, like distant thunder

As I look in your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes

I hold on to you darling
I embrace and cling to you, my beloved

And feel each move you make
I sense and feel every motion you make

Your voice is warm and tender
Your tone is gentle and caring

A love that I could not forsake
A love that I could never abandon

Cause I am your lady
Because I am the woman in your life

And you are my man
Because you are the man in my life

Whenever you reach for me
Whenever you need me

I'll do all that I can
I'll try my best to provide whatever you need

Lost is how I'm feeling
I feel confused and disoriented

Lying in your arms
When I'm holding you

When the world outside is too much to take
When everything happening outside is overwhelming

That all ends when I am with you
All those feelings disappear when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
Although there may be occasions

It seems I'm far away
It appears like I'm distant

But never wonder where I am
But you shouldn't be concerned about my whereabouts

Cause I am always by your side
Because I'm constantly there for you

We're heading for something
Our lives are moving towards an unknown destination

Somewhere I've never been
Somewhere I've never experienced

Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
I may feel scared at times, but I'm willing to learn and grow

But I'm ready to learn
However, I'm open and prepared to learn

'Bout the power of love
About the strength and impact of love

The sound of your heartbeat
The rhythm of your heart

Made it clear suddenly
Sudden clarity emerged

The feeling that I can't go on
The sensation of being unable to keep going

Is light years away
Seems like it's a vast distance from me
