Its 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 always knew just what I wanted
I charted every path I'd take
Then one day I met you babe
And the earth began to shake
I thought my mind was going crazy
You had me spinning like a wheel
But no one ever died from dizzy
It ain't no big deal
It's only love
Love in all it's splendor
It's just love
Warm and sweet and tender
There's no other choice but to surrender
As this world goes round
It all comes down to love
Now every day I'm running faster
I ain't got time to take one breath
This life that I've been running after
Well it scares me half to death
If I have this I have what matters
If I know this I know what's real
Cause nothing else I know what makes sense like
The way you make me feel
It's only love
Love in all it's splendor
It's just love
Warm and sweet and tender
There's no other choice but to surrender
SOLO
It's only love
Love in all it's splendor
It's just love
Warm and sweet and tender
There's no other choice but to surrender
As this world goes round
It all comes down to love
