Crazy Love
Ray Charles with Van Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
[Chorus:]
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
[Chorus]
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
[Chorus]

Hail Mary Full of Grace, Blessed art Thou among women and Blessed is the fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our Death. Amen.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail Our Life Our Sweetness and Our Hope, To You do we cry poor banished children of Eve, to You do we send up our sighs of mourning and weeping in this valley of tears, turn then oh Most Gracious Advocate Thine Eyes of Mercy towards us and after this our exile, show onto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy womb Jesus. O Clement O Loving O Sweet Virgin Mary.
May the Souls of the Faithful Departed through the Mercy of God Rest in Peace.
Amen.
