about

One February during lockdown someone said 'you'd should write a song for Valentine's Day'. 'My love song' is the result. But who or what is it about?

lyrics

My love song

How can I write you a love song
When I can’t think of right words to say?
How can I sing you a sweet melody
When it doesn’t turn out the right way?
How can I make things sound just how I want them.
If I don’t have my thoughts in a line
How can I ask you to hear what I’m telling you
And say that we’ll always be fine?
I’ll just have to do it the best way that I can
And wait for an answer, wait for an answer to come.

CHORUS

And the river flows out to the sea
And the beaches shine gold in the morning sun
And from the first time, the first time that I met you
I knew that you, you were the one
The place where the wind dances clear through the trees
And the birds call their song to the early dawn
Where the reeds sway softly by the salty shore
and the clouds float high in the summer air
And here’s how I know that I love you
Cause I see your face everywhere
Yes, here’s how I know that I love you
Cause I hear your voice and it sounds just like a prayer

And if you’re still here when I’m gone away
Will you wonder at what we have done
I wonder where the memories of love reside
Leaves that rustle in the autumn sun
But I’ll take you with me wherever I go
To help me with what may befall
I’ll listen by the rivers under swirling skies
So I’m ready when I hear your call
So here’s how I’ve done the best that I can
A melody, some words, and this is my love song

CHORUS
