Our Love Lyrics
by michael mcdonald & david pack
Lost and lonely lives
Floating like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by
In a moment where time stands still
From here we look out on forever
[Chorus]
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on its way
Shattered, broken dreams
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by
With the strength that we spend in this life
In the hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that
[Chorus]
In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell
[Chorus]
Lost and lonely lives
Floating like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by
From here we look out on forever
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on its way
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by
In the hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell

More Michael McDonald
I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)
What a fool believes
Yah Mo B There
Sweet Freedom
On My Own
One of the most beautiful slept on 80's ballads ever written, and Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brother's has quite a few. It's very open, optimistic, yet darkly spun, as it exposes the love of two people in love hopefully for life, as well the life after.
I did a bit of research on the movie that it's a theme song for. As I hoped to get a clearer picture of why it was chosen as the theme song for the movie, "No Mercy" starring Richard Gere & Kim Bassinger. Maybe it was written around the movie, or vice versa. Either way it's a really well crafted song, that's as poignant as it's love laced.
Just my take though...;)
