Song about longing for love. Yearnings from a long time ago, now fulfilled.

The lovebirds are singing

When I think about you,
I feel so much love
When I think about you, 
I feel you're my dove

And I know that, 
when we're together
the lovebirds are 
singing our song...
Can't you hear them 
singing about us?
How could our 
love be wrong?

Chorus

And so, 
the lovebirds are singing
their songs of love?
And, I need you, 
I want you, I love you
How could our love 
be wrong?


When I think about you, 
I feel warm inside
When I think about you, 
I know that it's right


Bridge
And the lovebirds are singing
can't you hear their song?
And I need you, I love you, I want you
How could it be wrong?


When I think about you, 
I know that you're scared
When I think about you, 
don't you know how much I care?


And the love birds are singing
their sad songs of love
but, 
if you don't need me, 
want me or love me
you'll always be my dove.

And the love birds 
will keep singing
their songs of love
And if you listen 
real carefully ...
you'll hear ...

my words...

in their song.

Chorus repeat twice
fade

This has to be the best on yet. Beautifully written and I'm sure even more so composed. This was great John.
