Only Love
Winger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like the stars at midnight, living through the ages
We are a lonely world, living empty pages
So if you hear her crying for your ghost of love
It's to yourself you're lying, if you find you're all on your own

Nothing else will make us only love can take us there
Nothing else can change us only love can make us, only love
No you may never see her, yeah she's talking to you
Asking you to free her, she's meaning to break through
So if you see her crying for your ghost of love
It's to yourself you're lying, if you find you're all on your own

Nothing else will make us only love can take us there (It's only love)
Nothing else can change us only love can make us, only love

Solo

Nothing else will make us only love can take us there, only love
Nothing else can change us only love can make us, it's only love

Nothing else will make us only love can take us there, only love




Nothing else can change us only love can make us, man it's only love,
Only love
