Good Love
RL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good love will make you cry
Good love will last until you die
When I woke up this morning
Autumn leaves just pass me by
Saw this couple just crying
And in my mind I wonder why
I could tell it was special
'Cause something felt so true yeah
That's the thing about true love
That is the way I want to be happy with you
Good love will make you cry
Good love will last until you die
Now I'm speaking as a woman
Raised with a mother's love
She said you better recognize
The truth from lies
It's in the eyes
Gotta look beyond what you see
It's so much deeper that visually
Let's come together just you and me
Look and see through the trees
The journey of
Good love will make you cry
Good love will last until you die
Love can make you warm
Or it can make you very cold
If you listen to your heart
The truth will unfold
When you find that honey, honey
That touches you on sight
You should never fight that feeling
'Cause good love's so right




Good love will make you cry
Good love will last until you die
