Love Song #1
SWANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a love song, nothing new
This is a love song, just for you
Hold me close to your heart
And I'll stay close to your soul
No you'll never be alone

For all I need now is your eyes
To remind me of who I am
So hold me close to your heart
And I'll stay close to your soul
No we'll never be apart

And when the sun goes down
I will be gone on my own
And this song will last forever
And I will stay close to your heart
No we'll never be apart...





Love is all we have (x8)
