Harmony
Steve Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's songs to sing
Give them everything
Let your spirit rise away

If there's words to say
In a special way
I gotta say, oh yeah
Oh, yeah

Ooh, yeah, special kind of love
Ooh, yeah, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

Words and melody
Live in harmony, oh yeah
Oh, yeah

Ooh, yeah, special kind of love
Ooh, yeah, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

Ooh, la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

It's the love you give, you get
It's the smile you smile
Will live in your eyes for all to see
You just can't hide it
Can't hide it

When you're feeling, feeling good
Smilin' faces, warm embraces
Stray from heaven for you, for you





Ooh, yeah, special kind of love
Ooh, yeah, special kind of love
