Artist/Band: Gerry Rafferty
Lyrics for Song: The Light Of Love
Lyrics for Album: On A Wing And A Prayer [1992]



Love comes with a new expression

And the sentimental moon shines in our eyes

Love grows with each new impression

Like an elemental tune that never dies.



But all too soon arrives the dawning

And I awaken to the light of love

The kind of love I want to share with you everyday

We make a promise on this night of love

Let's say a prayer that it might all come true.



Love comes like a revelation

And it changes everything that we can see

Love comes with new inspiration

And it show us everything that we can be.



But all too soon arrives the dawning

And I awaken to the light of love

The kind of love I want to share with you everyday

We make a promise on this night of love

Let's say a prayer that it might all come true.



How many times have you been lost

And even now you count the cost

Of saying all those last goodbyes

Something's come alive on this new morning

You're looking at one more day.



Love comes with a new expression

And the sentimental moon shines in our eyes

Love grows with each new impression

Like an elemental tune that never dies.



But all too soon arrives the dawning

And I awaken to the light of love

The kind of love I want to share with you everyday

We'll make a promise on this night of love

Let's say a prayer that it might all come true ... everyday.

The Light Of Love

Gerry Rafferty's 'The Light Of Love' stands as a defining track from his 1992 album 'On A Wing And A Prayer.' Released during a period of significant personal and professional transition, the song captures the melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere characteristic of Rafferty's later work. The recording features his distinctive baritone voice and intricate guitar work, blending elements of soft rock and folk balladry that became hallmarks of his discography. While the song was not a major commercial hit upon its initial release, it has since gained a devoted following for its emotional depth and lyrical exploration of enduring affection. The track remains a poignant example of Rafferty's ability to craft atmospheric music that resonates with listeners seeking introspection and romantic sentiment.
