Love Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

[Verse 2]
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

[Chorus]
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?
[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Love Song, a cover of the song of the same title by Lesley Duncan, released in 1971, the song features acoustic guitar in the left ear with Elton’s singing and a simple metronome beat in the right. When the first chorus starts, another voice enters both ears and then returns to it’s original state, exploding with fidelity during the second run of the chorus, ending with ambient noises of a beach and conversation as the third run of chorus plays and the last two lines are repeated until fade.
