For Love Alone

Michael Feinstein · Such Sweet Sorrow [1995]

For love alone, I did what otherwise I never could have done

Though if I lost a race or two, I should have won

And aimed a few too many arrows at the sun, it has been fun



When I was sure how very steep the price can be when love goes wrong

I held my hasty hardened check but not for long

Somehow I never could resist that siren song



If some dark day, I wake to find the love I felt was here to stay

Has slipped away

I'll simply say, these are the breaks, one makes mistakes



I bought the lies but now I'm wise

And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise

And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone



But now I'm wise

And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise

And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone



For love alone
