I Believe In Love Lyrics

It all started nine years ago
You sat to my left back in school
The future showed itself to me
The god in you, the god in me, stood together like two trees

I was so shy to inquire
If you would like tea sometime
Then in my Mercury
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy mercy mercy me
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy mercy

And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
To find our inner light

I saw a vision where we
Were opening presents Christmas Day
But we were not all alone
The wedding was shotgun
We had a daughter and a son

So how cruel to realize
You had a woman all the time umm hmm
But my love burns bright as the sun
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here at your door
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here

And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
To find our inner light

Thank you for waiting through my lovers
Knowing we could come home to each other
Yes, I have waited through these winters
My true love was waiting here yeah

And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way

And I believe in love, love, love
I belive in love
I'll go on lovin, I'll go on lovin
I believe in love, love yes
Oooo hooo oh
(to fade)

Cover art for I Believe In Love lyrics by Paula Cole

I think this song is about true love. Like meeting someone when your young. loving them whole heartedly and wanting to be with them even though at that time you didn't know what love exactly was. But the guy you liked was taken, just out of your leage at that time. A serious one sided crush in other words.

But now you're older and after many lovers and all that you meet your true love again and you both realize it was meant to be because you've had time to see other people and grow up.

Cover art for I Believe In Love lyrics by Paula Cole

Girl, nothing draws me toward you Everything bears me farther away In you, the wars accumulated Sadness stunned you In you—everything sank It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss The hour of the spell that blazed Fury of a blind diver, she loved me I loved her too—running free—mad—in the sea spray

The morning is full of storm You listen to other voices in my painful voice They are more used to my sadness than you are And I watch my words from a long way off

Leaning into the afternoon, I fling my sad notes The night gallops on its shadowy mare Stuck in my sold marine madness I cruise in the sour smell of the naked climate Still dressed in gray and bitter sounds Thinking … tangling shadows …

[paraphrased poetry]
