Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?
Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour
Where did the love go? (Right here!)
Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.
We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?
As she walks in the door
Across the dance floor
Beaming from ear-to-ear
With the smile upon her face
Drawing ever near
Wrapping arms around me in an embrace
Is she looking at me?
She looks me in the eye
Then, I know
She looks I in the eye
Then, I knew
Oh, yeah! She’s looking at me
It feels oh so good
The way she wraps her arms around me
It’s a glimpse of heaven I see
Ahhh… she’s looking at me

LYRICS
I’m really diggin’
I’m really grooving on what you’re doin’
It’s cool, off-the-hook, you’re the bomb
This song is about trite expressions
Used trying to express my feelings for you
’cause I really love you
Yes, it’s true
I love you
LYRICS
I’ve been told… I’ve been told (before I was too old)… I’ve been told… you can
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on bread
‘neath the bedspread
Anywhere you want to
Even in your head
Take it. Give it. Take it. Spread it!
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on the ceiling
Spread it on the floor
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till they beg for more
Spread it. Spread it. Spread it ’till you’re folklore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Spread it on with feeling
Spread it on a S’more
Spread the warm and fuzzy. Penetrate the core!
Believe me if you spread it you’ll never be a bore
Take a little love and spread it all over the world
Come on, come on
Spread it on…
Take a little love like a baby
Not a wanna be. Not a maybe.
Take a little love and spread it all over the world

We’re strapping on banana suits
To bring a smile
Making people happy
We’re putting on…
Putting on banana suits
Gonna better this world…
Gonna better this world
Before we get too old

Diverting another crisis
That’s been left to us
(Our inheritance)
Lemonade for cancer aid

Don’t delay: HELP END STRIFE!
“People are dying”
Children are crying
“Have a great day”
What do you say?
ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.
1. Wowwwww… the wind blew hard
When I started thinking of you
Though, there your are
Only yards away
2. The chill you sent up my spine
Must not have been you at all
As it was divine
And, you know my position on the divinity of humanity
[Repeat 1 and add:]
Just yards away
Backyards. Frontyards.
Sidewards sideyards
Just yards away
But ya know the feeling,
Will I ever be close to you?
ABOUT THIS SONG
Sometimes you think you want to be close to someone, but then you think, “Do I really want that person to be close to me?” Then, I think to myself… perhaps it is best to start by being close to God. Then, you don’t have to worry about the other person’s imperfections getting on your nerves? 🙂
