Look at this face I know the years are showing
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes they never seen what matters
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me,sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know is me and you

Look at this man so blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul still searching for salvation

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know

    I'm a huge fan of Aaron. He's who I listen to when I am happy His songs are very uplifting. I like a lot of folk and blues Bob Dylan things like that But a lot of that stuff is about unrequited love Sadness, (it's called "the blues" for that very reason) But when I want to listen to a voice of joy and gladness Nobody can beat Aaron Neville. That beautiful, completely unique sound.

    This a simple declaration of love, remind me to my friend Wayan who's in love with his girl friend Zizah for about 8 years before finally they're decided to get married. He is a simple man and he gives Zizah a simple thing named "Love"

    This is one of the most beautiful songs. It sums up love better than any other. There's alot in life that we may not know, but if you know you love someone, what else is there to know? The rest will take care of itself.

    I thought this song was pretty straightforward all my life but now realized it's true meaning. It's not about 2 people in love above everything. It's about one's love for God.

    As the song explains life keeps rolling on. The singer doesn’t know what’s in store for them but knows of only one thing. The love they have for the other is immeasurable. That’s all the really need to know is that everything’s going to be alright if they have that special one in their life.

    It is representing an elderly couple, each in fear of losing each other, reminiscing about their lives together while telling each other that the most important thing of all is their love for one another.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
