Greatest love song EVER: "When You Give Your Love To Me" by Kevin Gilbert

[bbernardini]

I've been thinking about this for the last 3 days
I don't think that I'm deluding myself
I don't think that this is just a phase
And I don't mean to shock you - I hope that I'm not rushing in
But I think that this is kinda important
and I don't know exactly where to begin
.
My whole life has been a constant ailment
You can provide a simple remedy
Yeah I'm gonna show some vast improvement
When you give your love to me
And you can trust that I'm a worthy recipient
And be assured I'll act responsibly
I'll treat it like a work of rare and priceless art
When you give your love to me
.
So hows about it girlfriend? Am I gonna have to twist your arm?
Perhaps it's not the most original concept
but it has a kind of timeless charm
.
You'll have the little birds flying all around your head
and you'll gaze at me dreamily
Yeah the whole world's gonna smile and wave
when you give your love to me
.
I'm sick of hearing about sadness
I'm sick of violent crime
I'm sick of angry militant lesbian feminists
I'm sick of imperfect rhyme
.
I've always heard that we should love one another
And what a fine example we will be
Maybe we can start a trend or something
When you give your love to me
And maybe then we'll get our friends together
And they'll all get along famously
I think that everyone will feel much better
When you give your love to me
There'll be global peace and religious tolerance
All men as brothers in a world that's free
There'll be a perfect cosmic harmonic convergence
When you give your love to me.

[Paul Dlugokencky]
