Such is Love
Discovering the Depths of Love's Wisdom
Lyrics
After all I've come to know me, and the ways of my heart,
Reflecting on self-discovery and understanding the emotions of the heart.
And the young man that I once was would have torn our love apart.
Acknowledging past immaturity that could have jeopardized a love relationship.
When you're young and always looking at the far side of the hill
Describing the tendency of the young to focus on distant goals, potentially missing present opportunities.
You might miss the fairest flower standing by you very still.
Warning against overlooking a beautiful and valuable relationship in pursuit of distant goals.
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
Emphasizing the wonder and complexity of love through repetition.
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
-Love is never, like the stillness, love is always passing by
Contrasting love with stillness, suggesting that love is dynamic and ever-changing.
Love must flow like a river; try to hold love back and love will die
Stressing the necessity for love to flow freely; attempts to restrain it can lead to its demise.
If I'd known as a young man what I know of love today
Expressing regret about not understanding the depth of love earlier in life.
I'd have lain down in that river and let it wash my soul away.
Imagining a metaphorical cleansing of the soul through immersion in the river of love.
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
Reiterating the profound nature of love, using repetition for emphasis.
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
-Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
Continuing to emphasize the wondrous and transformative aspects of love.
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love, wondrous love
-Now I know love.
Concluding with a realization and acceptance of the true nature of love.
