Lyrics:
Don’t look for shooting stars
For love is only love.
You touch and still you touch the ground.
Don’t listen for those bells
For love is only love;
And if it’s love you’ve found
Your heart won’t hear a sound;
And when you hold his hand
You only hold his hand.
The violins are all a bluff;
But if you’re really wise
The silence of his eyes will tell you
Love is only love,
But it’s wonderful enough.
Don’t look for shooting stars
For love is only love.
You touch and still you touch the ground.
Don’t listen for those bells
For love is only love;
Your heart won’t hear a sound;
And when you hold his hand
You only hold his hand.
The violins are all a bluff;
But if you’re really wise
The silence in his eyes will tell you
Love is only love,
But it’s wonderful enough,
Without the shooting stars,
Without the sound of bells,
Without the violins love is wonderful enough.
