LOVE SONG
WRITTEN BY STEVE YOUNG
© 1992 STARRY PYRAMID MUSIC, B.M.I.

THEY SAY YOU CAME FROM ACROSS ASIAN SEAS,
FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR, AN AIR OF MYSTERY....
AND THEY SAY A GYPSY WOMEN TOLD YOUR MAMA ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN,
“SHE’S GONNA SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN,
SOME MAN’S GONNA WRITE HER A SONG.....
 

WELL TO ME DARLING,
YOUR MOST LIKE A SHOOTING STAR....
FLAMING IN BEAUTY THROUGH THE NIGHT WHEREVER YOU ARE,
AND I’M THE ONE WHO LONGED TO TOUCH YOUR BEAUTY FOR SO LONG,
I GOT MY OWN LITTLE ROOM
OVER IN THE TOWER OF SONG.....
 

BUT IF I WERE A POET,
I’D WRITE ABOUT YOUR EYES...
IF I WERE A PHARAOH DARLING
I’D PAINT YOUR FACE ON EGYPT’S SKIES...
IF I WERE A MYSTIC WARRIOR ON THE PLAINS,
YOU’D BE MY SUNRISE...
AND I COULD RIDE OFF IN THE SUNSET
AND BE HAPPY ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE..........
 

IN THESE MODERN TIMES OF MONEY AND BOTTOM LINES,
THEY SAY ROMANCE OF THE HEART IS DEAD BUT THEY DIDN’T LOOK IN MINE....
SO WOULD YOU LIFT WITH ME WHERE THE MOONLIGHT STILL MEETS THE SEA....
LEAVE OUR SHACKLES AND CHAINS BEHIND,
AND GO RUNNING FREE.....
 

CAUSE IF I WERE A POET,
I’D WRITE ABOUT YOUR EYES..
IF I WERE A PHAROAH DARLING,
I’D PAINT YOUR FACE ON EGYPT’S SKIES....
WERE I A MYSTIC WARRIOR ON THE PLAINS
YOU’D BE MY SUNRISE,
AND I COULD RIDE OFF IN THE SUNSET
AND BE HAPPY ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.......
