For the Love of You
St. John Kate (Dream Academy) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm Huh Hoo hoo hey baby
I'm looking for you
Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, loving you
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candlelight
And a song soft and long, well
Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Safe to see a new horizon
Slowly coming into view

I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me, my love and me
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowing through my mind with ease
Soft as can be well when you're loving me
Love to be Riding the waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery

I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key and this I see
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try and say
What I feel yeah love is real
Ooh I might as well
Sign my name on a card
Which could say it better
Time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done
Just about all that I can do do do





I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
