Sometimes It's Only Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am still your friend
Standin' by to catch you
If ever life should let you down
And you should fall
You don't need to pretend
If ever doubt should find you
I don't need to remind you
I'm there for you before and after all
I am who I am
And I would never fool you
I feel the same way you do
About honesty
But do we understand
How love is sometimes jaded
It keeps us separated
Even though we'll never part
So to be lovers
We've got to understand
Today is how today begins
Tomorrow's how it ends
And to be lovers
Some things we rise above
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love
Loving who I am
Is something that you've taught me
The kind of love you've brought me
Takes me through the day
And even though our minds
Are sometimes disagreeing
Our hearts they're still believing
We'll work it out and stay
So to be lovers
We've got to understand
Today is how today begins
Tomorrow's how it ends
And to be lovers
Some things we rise above
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love
I knew that one day
It would be only love
It would be only
It would be only love
I knew that in time
It would be only love
It would be only love
And to be lovers
We've got to understand
Today is how today begins
Tomorrow's how it ends
And to be lovers
Some things we rise above
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love
I knew that one day
It would be only love
It would be only
It would be only love
'Cause sometimes love is wonderful
But sometimes it's only love
