Love's Messages

Love's messages

There's a time I remember,
when I didn't know...
a thing about love, and how it should go

A man once told me, just look for the signs...
cause when she wants love,
you need to read between the lines

Chorus
Love's messages...
There are things, 
she'll say with her eyes...
History and mystery revealed and
concealed in just one look
Wish all the secret messages 
hidden through time,
could be written in a book

I had a hard time, 
learning the signs...
I thought, 
it must get better with time,

Chorus
Love's messages...
There are things, 
she'll say with her eyes...
History and mystery revealed and
concealed in just one look
Wish all the secret messages 
hidden through time,
could be written in a book

Bridge
When I see her, I feel my heart starting to burn,
please help me to understand
I feel there's still so much to learn

Now I'm older, and starting to know
When a woman wants love, 
and how it should go...

I may not know everything, 
and sometimes it shows...
but, you must plant a seed, 
if you want love to grow

Chorus
Love's messages...
There are things, 
she'll say with her eyes...
History and mystery revealed and
concealed in just one look
Wish all the secret messages 
hidden through time,
could be written in a book

Finale
You really need to know how to read the signs
The hidden messages that she sends with her eyes

The anxiety you feel over the mysteries of love and romance is palpable in your beautifully expressive lyric, John. The wires can get crossed that's for sure.. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan

John, it is also hard for women to understand men's thoughts. However, once the "seed" is planted, we can let things develop naturally. I think you know more about women than you believe you. Keep studying the eyes as well as the words and the rest will come to you. Beautifully written in lyric form. Hugs, Carolyn
