Power of Love Larry Suess 2008

1. Kicking up the sawdust at the old county fair, when the beauty of a girl turns heads around

The young buck at her side is so enraptured by her smile, his feet don’t even seem to touch the ground

CHORUS 1:

And the young men all light up while the old men shake their heads, remembering their first love affair

And the light that those two are shining seems to spread out all around, everyone can feel it in the air

They see the wonder, the spell they’re under, the power of love.

2. The crowd parts to let an older couple walk on by, stepping together like they’ve done for 50 years

Knowing they’ve seen every side of each other’s lives, living through all the joys and all the tears

CHORUS 2:

And the old men all light up, while the young men shake their heads,

Wondering how they made it this far

They see the wonder, the spell they’re under, the power of love

BRIDGE: Young and old they feel it burning, every day we keep on learning

Running through every season, we may never know the reason why

CHORUS 3:

The young men all light up while the old men shake their heads, remembering their first love affair

And the old men all light up while the young men shake their heads,

Wondering how they made it this far

They see the wonder, the spell they’re under, the power of love

They see the wonder, the spell they’re under, the power of love.
