Love is…

I have two songs here from my favorite composer/singer/songwriter, Mr. Jon Anderson from the group Yes, to share with you on this Valentine’s Day.

My love goes to you all.

Love Is

I will be here
To find it is
For your love
I’ll carry on, to know
That’s all it is, love is
It is, love is, it is

All now is all
The sound is
So in love this way
Together, once more together

Although the future, seems so uncertain
(Although the future, seems so uncertain)
Take heart my good friend,
(take heart my good friend)
Your time is waiting, (your time is waiting)

No thoughts of sadness,
(no thoughts of sadness)
All thoughts need someone, too,
(all thoughts need someone, too)

Of all the feelings
There’s one that matters
The gift of loving
The gift of love is calling you
O heart of mine be true, be true,

I know we’re ready, like ships asailing
Let all nights be like this
Forever I could hold you
Come to me
Then we come to love.

Jon Anderson & Vangelis – Short Stories 1980

If Only You Knew

I can lift you with my heart
Give you meaning every day
Cannot live without your truth

And be the true me
To be the true you

Pick the flowers from your floor
Put them in your arms for you my love
Realise my life and more

Say you will and then

Take me home
Make me clear
It feels so much better
Take me home
To this heart of hearts

If only you knew
You caught me when I was falling
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast

And only you knew
You answered me when I was calling you
You saw me when I was dreaming you
Into my life

Everyone who looks at you
Sees the loving in your every move
You’re the healing of the soul
To be the true you
To be the true me

I will be your strength all time
Ever wishing you this love and more
Forever be your guiding song

Say you will and then

Take me home
Make me clear
To feel so much better
In this life
In your heart of hearts

If only you knew
How you caught me when I was falling
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast

And only you knew
You answered me when I was calling you
You saw me when I was dreaming you
Into my life

When I feel the hurt in so many peoples’ lives
I take a deep breath and think of your smile your eyes

When I hear the sadness of this earthtime
Then I take a deep breath and know that you understand
That you understand

And only you knew
How you caught me when I was falling fast
Caught me when I was falling fast

If only you knew
How you answered me when I was calling you
You saw me when I was dreaming you

If only you knew
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast
You caught me when I was falling
Into your life
