Love Story
Paul Mauriat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do i begin
To tell the story
Of how greatful love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
That sings the truth about the love she brings to me
Where do i start
With the first hello
She gave the meaning
To this empty world of mine
That never did
Another love another time
She came into my life
And made a living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With soo much love
That anywhere i go
Im never lonely
With her along who could b lonely
I reach for her hand
Its always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she;ll b there...
How long does it last
Can love b measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say




I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she'll be there...

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Story" by Paul Mauriat is a classic representation of what love is all about. The song starts with the question ‘Where do I begin to tell the story of how grateful love can be?’ This is a common question that most people ask themselves when they are in love. How do you explain something that is truly magical and inexplicable? The singer goes on to say that his love story is an old one, older than the sea, and one that sings the truth about the love she brings to him.


The singer reminiscences on the day they first met when she gave meaning to his empty world. He describes how she fills his heart with special things, wild imaginings, and his soul with so much love that he is never lonely. Even when he goes anywhere, she is always with him, and he reaches for her hand, and it's always there. Then, he questions how long this love will last and whether love can be measured by hours in a day. He admits that he has no answers, but he knows he will need her until the love song burns away, and she'll be there.
