Story behind the song
What can I say, I misplaced the lyrics for a while. Sometimes we forget that it takes work to make love and life work. Despite how easy it is when you start out, it takes commitment and perseverance to keep it going. Each love ends in disappointment and failure until you find the one that doesn't.
Lyrics
1. At the outset we were living in the moment
Trying to get what we thought we deserved
We breathed in hope and breathed out dreams
Love never ends like it seams
Love is - 90% Work and 10% kisses
And a long slow line of near misses
2. Brilliant light, shining like a star
You were something to behold and more so to be held
Everything about you whistled Look at me
Even to the blind you had that sheen
3. Your love heartbreak was my patient zero
Surprised to find my feet swept out beneath me
Wondering how I could ever go forward
Wondering what was left to count upon
4. Whenever love came within striking distance
It was more a slap - than a tickle
A pleasant giggle than a sustained scream
More of nightmare than a day dream
