Love Story
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going back into my heart in time to see if my love comes around
Going back into my heart in time to see if my love comes around
I know that I will find she has been wasting time
She could be making a rose
Going back into my heart in time to see if my love changes her mind
Going back into my heart in time to see if my love changes her mind
She never made a sound. Her head is in the clouds
She could be painting her rose

Going back into my heart in time to see if my love has seen the light
I'm going back into my heart in time to see if my love has seen the light
I saw her last night. She couldn't prove her sight
Ah...she could be coming...

Going back into my heart in time to see if my love comes around
Going back into my heart in time to see if my love comes around
I know that I will fin dshe has been wasting time




She could be making a rose
She could be making a rose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's Love Story seem to be about a man who is searching for his lost love. He goes back in time, into his heart, to see if he can find her. He believes that she has been wasting her time and could be doing something better with her life, like making a rose. He hopes that by going back into his heart he will be able to find her and that she will change her mind and see the error of her ways.


He then sees her, and although she's physically present, she seems to be lost in thought and not all there. He hopes that she has seen the light and will come back to him. He repeats the chorus, hoping that he will find her making a rose, and that he can once again experience the love that they shared.


The song could be interpreted in a number of ways - as a reflection on lost love, as a search for redemption, or as a hopeful prayer for a better future. Regardless of what it means to individual listeners, it is a beautifully written and hauntingly sung song that has captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
