Woman In Love Lyrics

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning good-bye
But down inside you know
We never know why

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
We planned it all at the start
That you and I
Live in each others heart

We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

I am woman in love
And I'm talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

Jingle Bells

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning good-bye
But down inside you know
We never know why

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
We planned it all at the start
That you and I
Live in each others heart

We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything 
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

I am woman in love
And I'm talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What she should do to keep him in her world is to take a chill-pill. Clearly, she smothering him with her desperation. Writing about having the 'right' to do anything to keep him is the exact sentiment that's driving him away. Any reasonable man would run for the hills after that... And if a man wrote this to a woman, it would be enough evidence for a judge to issue a restraining order.

To me this song is about a woman declaring her love for the guy. It's like it's too late now, I'm already in love with you. Even though you have moved away I am still in love with you.

I love this song so much. Yes she is declaring her love for the man she loves but it can take on another, deeper, sadder meaning of eternal devotion.... in the video of Liz McClarenon's (quite respectable) cover for the song, watch the video unfold and you will see this interpretation of the song played out, that it is the soulful cry of a widow in mourning declaring her eternal devotion for her lost love who has died...

. life is a moment in space, when the dream is gone it's a lonelier place....

i'd do anything to get you into my world... what wouldn't some of us give to get a lost loved one back?

it's a right i defend over and over again... he may be passed on but she still belongs to him, the difference between a breakup and a severance of relationship by death is that there is no psychological break. the love relationship is suspended in time...."in love there is no measure of time"

eternally mine, in love there is no measure of time... you and i would live in each others hearts,- he is still alive in her heart...

"oceans away" yet a connection remains, she talks to, communicates with him, senses his soul's presence (you feel my love, i hear what you say)

no truth is ever a lie...

Great song that was written by the Gibb brothers and beautifully performed by Barbra Streisand.

I used to have a girlfriend who put this song on when we made love. Listening to it now reminds me of her.
