Light Of Love
St. James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a light, love is a light
Love is a lantern burning, burning bright
Brighter by far than any star in sight
Love is a lantern love is a light

When two lovers kiss if their love is true
Their lips will create a tiny spark or two
When our lips first met the spark's became a flame
Now I light up every time you whisper my name

Love is a light, love is a light

When I'm close to you I feel such a glow
Way down deep inside my heart it's bound to show
And when we're apart wherever I roam
Your love is a beacon light calling me back home





Love is a light, love is a light

Overall Meaning

The song Light of Love by St. James captures the essence of love in a beautiful and poetic manner. Love is described as a light, a lantern burning bright and shining brighter than any star in sight. The imagery of the lantern is significant as it not only illuminates the darkness but also guides the way. Similarly, love has the power to light up our lives, provide direction and guide us through the darkest of times.


The chorus is particularly interesting as it talks about the physical manifestation of love. When two lovers kiss and their love is true, their lips create a tiny spark or two. This spark of love becomes a flame and lights up their lives. The idea of true love igniting a spark is a powerful one, and the verse describes how this spark becomes a flame, representing the intensity and passion of true love.


The second verse talks about the impact of love on the individual. Being close to the person they love makes them feel a glow way down deep inside their heart. The love they share becomes a beacon light that calls them back home whenever they are apart. The verse uses the metaphor of a beacon light, which is a signal or guide to signify that love is more than just a feeling; it is an anchor that keeps us grounded and provides clarity in our lives.
