THE LIGHT OF LOVE
(words and music by Rick Springfield)
Standing at the terminal I can almost hear the
music
Coming from the cold and chilly L.A. night
And when we get to the gate, baby
All of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back
Will you come back home 'cause you know I'm waiting
The Light Of Love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The Light Of Love is always on
Keeping the night watch
Baby, are you lonely, Don't Talk To Strangers
I'm trying to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part baby, where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane
Will it bring you back, will you come back home
'Cause you know I'm waiting
The Light Of Love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The Light Of Love is always on
Keeping the night watch…
The Light Of Love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The Light Of Love is always on
Keeping the night watch
The Light Of Love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The Light Of Love is always on
Keeping the night watch
Keeping the night watch
Keeping the night watch

This is probably my second favorite song on the whole album. I really like it!
Again, what in the freak is with all these women he seems to be writing about.
They are all leaving him!
It's very romantic to think that "the light of love" is back waiting for you
somewhere. I love the line (the way he sounds when he sings).."tryin' to tell myself
you won't be gone for long". Whew.....
I've never really liked this song all
that much for some reason. I do remember Rick mentioning in a chat that he might add
this on the next tour as a "fan favorite". Of course, this brings up his
first fascination with the whole "don't talk to strangers" thing. He's
admitted to being a very jealous person, so I don't think he was wanting his girlfriends
to talk to any other guys, it seems. He also seems to be on the wrong end of the
heartache in all these relationships.
