What Love Is Lyrics - Singles - Marty Balin

Love is not the thrill 

Of the first connection 

Love is not the shiver 

In the first embrace 

Love is never lost 

In the first rejection 

If you're thinking 

Love comes easy 

It's going to disappear 

Without a trace 

Because what love is? 

Is that spark that survives 

What love is? 

It's worth keeping alive 

All this fire while rain 

Is pouring in from every side 

What love is? 

Is admitting we're blind 

What love is 

When we're trying to find 

What love is? 

Now I know you've been captured 

By a vague suspicion 

But, baby, you know 

That you heard it from a jealous liar 

Can we start improving 

On our heart's condition? 

Can we stop wasting 

All this precious fire? Yeah 

Because what love is? 

Is that spark that survives 

What love is? 

It's worth keeping alive 

All this fire while rain 

Is pouring in from every side 

What love is? 

Is admitting we're blind 

What love is 

When we're trying to find 

What love is? 

Is it the fear of living all alone? 

Year after year 

I just don't know 

But I know I want you here beside me 

Is it the need to fill empty place? 

Where does it lead, I got to know 

'Cause only together 

Could we ever hope to see 

What love is? 

It's the pulse in our veins 

What love is? 

The pleasures and pain 

It survives while rain 

Is pouring in from every side 

What love is? 

Not who's wrong or who's right 

What love is? 

Waiting for us tonight 

What love is? 

You have to help me to 

Find out just what love is 

What love is? What love is? 

What love is?
