Your Love Is King
Sade · Diamond Life
crown you in my heart.
your love is king,
never need to part.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
tearing the very heart of me.
i'm crying out for more.
your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
your love is king.
you're the ruler of my heart.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
i'm crying out for more.
your love is king.
i'm coming up, i'm coming.
you're making me dance, inside.
your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
your love is king,
never need to part.
your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
tearing the very heart of me.
i'm crying out for more.
touching the very part of me.
it's making my soul sing.
i'm crying out for more.
your love is king.
this is no blind faith
this is no sad and sorry dream.
this is no blind faith
your love...
your love is real... gotta crown me with your heart,
never, never need to part,
touch me.
never letting go,
never letting go,
never going to give it up.
i'm coming,
you're making me dance...
Your Love Is King
Sade's 'Your Love Is King' stands as a defining track from their 1984 album 'Diamond Life,' capturing the quintessential soulful sound of the early 1980s. The song features the band's signature blend of lush orchestration, smooth vocals, and a steady, hypnotic groove that became a hallmark of their discography. Released during a period when Sade was establishing their global reputation for sophisticated R&B and jazz fusion, the recording exemplifies their ability to craft atmospheric tracks that prioritize emotional depth over overt aggression. As one of the standout moments on 'Diamond Life,' the song remains a staple of their live performances and a touchstone for fans of classic British soul, reflecting the era's shift toward more polished, instrumental-driven arrangements while maintaining a deeply human connection through their vocal delivery.
