Only Love
Wynonna Judd · Collection [1997]
I have sailed a boat or two out on the wild blue
Yonder to dreams that rarely come true
As far as I can see from this island of green
I can put my trust in just one thing
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
Out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
Peaceful waters, raging sea
It is all the same to me
I can close my eyes and still be free
When the waves come crashing down
And thunder rolls around
I can feel my feet on solid ground
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
And only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only Love
(whispered, back up singers) Only, only love
(Wynonna) Only, only love
(back up singers) Only, only love
(Wynonna) Only love
Yonder to dreams that rarely come true
As far as I can see from this island of green
I can put my trust in just one thing
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
Out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
Peaceful waters, raging sea
It is all the same to me
I can close my eyes and still be free
When the waves come crashing down
And thunder rolls around
I can feel my feet on solid ground
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
And only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only Love
(whispered, back up singers) Only, only love
(Wynonna) Only, only love
(back up singers) Only, only love
(Wynonna) Only love
