Song of love to sing to you
C G D G D C
All I need is this song of love,
(no chords) G G6 G
To sing for you.
On the floor where daylight dances,
With the ones who missed their chances,
When they couldn't let it show;
Lies the land of sweet surrender,
Like a dream it might have ended there,
But we couldn't let it go.
Now forever we will live as one,
Floating in love's atmosphere;
If love is a piece of dust floating in the sun,
All I want is this song of love,
Song of love to sing to you;
All I need is this song of love,
To sing for you.
