Stoned Love
The Starlite Orchestra & Singers Lyrics

Now I wanna tell you of a great love
The singer wants to talk about a remarkable love.

Oh, it will light up
This love will shine brightly.

It will surely light up
The love will undoubtedly be illuminating.

The world
The entire planet will be lit up by this love.

If you'll just believe
To witness this love, all one needs to do is believe it exists.

Stoned love
This extraordinary love is 'stoned,' or truly special.

A love for each other will bring fighting to an end
If people love each other, they will stop fighting and quarreling.

Forgiving one another, time after time, doubt creeps in
Even if they forgive each other repeatedly, doubt can still arise.

But like the sun lights up the sky with a message from above
Just like the sun illuminates the sky with a message from a divine entity.

Oh, yeah, I find no other greater symbol of this love
This love is the most potent symbol of love the singer has ever seen.

Yeah, don't you hear the wind blowin'?
The singer is asking if anyone hears the wind blowing.

Mm-hmm
This is a sound of agreement or acknowledgment.

Stoned love, oh, yeah
This unique love is again referred to as 'stoned.'

I tell you, I ain't got no other
There is no other love like this in the world, according to the singer.

Life is so short, put the present time at hand
Life is brief, so make the most of the present moment.

Oh, yeah, and if you're young at heart, rise up and take your stand
The singer urges people to take a stand, especially if they are still young at heart.

And to the man on whose shoulder the world must depend
This line is addressed to the individual whose shoulders the entire planet relies on.

I pray for peace and love, amen
The singer prays for peace and love to prevail, and ends with 'amen.'

Can't you feel it?
The singer is asking if the audience can perceive this love.

Ooh, ooh, ooh
These noises are an expression of the singer's enthusiasm and excitement about this love.

If a war 'tween our nations passed, oh, yeah
If a war broke out between our countries and was resolved.

Will the love 'tween our brothers and sisters last?
The singer is questioning whether the love between siblings will endure.

On and on and on and on and
Repeating the word 'on' emphasizes how long the love should last.

Mm, mm, mm
These sounds are similar to 'uh-huh' or 'yes,' indicating agreement or approval.

Stoned love, yeah
This love is 'stoned' once again, meaning it's remarkable.

Mm-hmm
A sound of agreement or acknowledgment.

Stoned love
This exceptional love is reiterated.

Oh, yeah, stoned, stoned, stoned, stoned
The singer repeats 'stoned' to emphasize how special this love is.

Mm-hmm
A sound of agreement or acknowledgment.

Stoned love
'Stoned love' is repeated once more to leave an impact on the audience.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The singer is enthusiastically repeating the words 'oh yeah' six times.

Uh-huh
A sound of agreement or acknowledgment.

Stoned love
This is the final repetition of 'stoned love,' cementing its importance.

Oh, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
The singer is affirming his love one last time.

Mm-hmm
A sound of agreement or acknowledgment.
