Love Songs (Album Version)

Love Songs (Album Version) - George Duke

Love songs sweet love songs

Love songs sweet sweet sweet love

Hasn't every way to write a love song been written

Hasn't every way to tell the story been told

Hasn't everyone been moved and soothed by the melodies

Aren't there other tales to be told other stories to unfold

Haven't we anything else to say

Or are we merely trapped to find another way

To say the same things

Don't we have other thoughts other dreams

It seems every time I search that quiet place

I find myself with you face to face in my mind

There's nothing left to say except "I love you"

Hasn't every way to sing a love song been sung

Hasn't every way to phrase the message been done

Haven't all the great ones sung the melodies that've wooed you

Aren't there other songs to be sung with messages untold

Seems that we've lost our will to challenge

The mind and be a unique kind of artist and

Friend a teacher or prophet by pen

But wait don't get me wrong I love a good

Good love song

One that gets me real good when I close my eyes

I only seem to find the words "I love you"

"I love you" I can't help myself

And as long as you keep needin' them I'll

Keep servin' 'em till my last breath

No I'm not alone there're others like you and me

'Cause there's always someone who wants to

Tell their story of need

And it's a simple story one as old as time

And we all know that sometimes love don't have no reason or rhyme

Hingin' on to those love songs
