Story behind the song
I wrote this song during a very difficult period in my life. It was written at red lights as I was traveling down highway 24 with a make-up pencil on a old napkin I had in the car. I really felt it was a message just for me at the time...turns out a lot of other folks thought so too!
Lyrics
only love sherri lyn robbins (c)1997
there are the dreamers
the users and the schemers
takes a whole lot of power baby
to make them believers
It's a mystery
a mystery to me
why the bird in the cage
don't want to go free
well it broke my heart
when he walked away
it's the push and pull game, baby
i always play
and it's over and over again
till i get it right
but i'm gettin kinda weary
of fighting the fight
so i must close my eyes
and let it all go
because i hold on too tightly
to the things that hurt me so
walk by faith
and not what i feel
for the sun will surely rise
oh, and only
only love...
only love is real
you're the sugar in my coffee, baby
i'm the cream in your tea
lately you've been worrying
about the way it is with me
and i don't claim to know life's mysteries
but it all works out, baby
just the way it's meant to be
if you just close your eyes
and let it all go
because you hold on too tightly
to the things that hurt you so
walk by faith
not what you feel
for the sun will surely rise
the sun will surely rise
oh, and only
only love...
only love is real
only love is real...
