Lyrics
Free To Love You
I focus on the subtleties
A lover's song The melodies
Someone who’s not quite at ease
The falling leaves An Autumn breeze
A mind can only ever know
A heart can love A heart can grow
A voice can let a lover show
A heart that beats both to and fro
And I can be the southern sun
That wakes you in the early dawn
Arise my child the day’s begun
The feathered fowl’s song is sung
The early bird can have it’s pick
But to discern between’s the trick
I love the way she bites her lip
And photographs protruding hip
And I want to be free... oh... to love you
I want to be free right now!
And I want to be free to love you
Free right now!
Cheek to cheek and heart to heart
It’s always fun when lovers start
Whether close or far apart
The dance becomes just like an art
Some desire Some refrain
Some just settle for mundane
Some are hopelessly in pain
And some treat love like it's a game
I choose to sit with what is there
Images of flowing hair
Nakedness everywhere
Poetry that’s debonair
There’s always a means to an end
But some are true and some pretend
Have worthy love there to defend
Your life begins where comfort ends
And I want to be free... oh... to love you
I want to be free right now!
And I want to be free to love you
Free right now!
