Perhaps love
Plácido Domingo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
The song "Perhaps Love" by Plácido Domingo is a beautiful representation of what love can be to different people. The song begins by describing love as a resting place, a shelter from the storm that provides comfort and warmth in times of trouble. The memory of love serves as a guiding light to bring one back home during moments of loneliness. The lyrics then compare love to a window, an open door that invites you to come closer and see more. Even when lost, the memory of love will help guide you through the confusion.
The song explores the different definitions of love, acknowledging that love can mean different things to different people. Some may see love as a cloud, intangible and fleeting, while others see it as strong as steel. For some, love is a way of living, a reason to keep going, while for others, it's simply a way to feel. The lyrics also recognize the dichotomy of love: some believe it's about holding on while others believe it's about letting go. Some believe love is everything, while others may not understand it at all.
The final verse of the song sees love compared to the ocean, an ever-changing force full of conflict and pain, as well as moments of beauty and grace. Love is like the warmth of a fire or the power of thunder, both bringing forth different emotions depending on the situation. The song concludes with the acknowledgment that if the singer should live forever and all their dreams come true, the memories of love will be of that special someone.

My Father had Alzheimers and shortly before he died he wanted to hear this song, he sang the chorus to me and I remembered the album growing up. I found it on You Tube and sat beside his hospital bed and played it over and over. He sang it to me and it is a memory that I cannot find words to describe. When I sit and think of my Father I put this video on and listen to this beautiful song.

I sung this to my son as he was dying of cancer. I wanted to sing him out. I sang some of his favorite songs to him right before I had to leave the room so they could take Chad off the respirator. Chad was 22.❤️
