Love Song
Melody Gardot · The Essential Melody Gardot
The words I have to say
May be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
The words I have to say
May be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
May be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
The words I have to say
May be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do
About Love Song
"Love Song" sits naturally within Melody Gardot's world of jazz-informed vocal music, where phrasing, atmosphere, and emotional understatement carry much of the weight. Gardot's singing often favors intimacy over force, and a title as direct as "Love Song" suits her ability to make familiar romantic language feel private rather than generic. The performance draws on jazz, blues, and singer-songwriter traditions without needing to announce any one influence too loudly. Its strength is in mood: a listener hears the space around the voice, the careful pacing, and the sense that the song is being offered close-up rather than projected from a distance.
