Story Behind The Song

Tammy

Lyrics

Only A Love Song Will Do

Indian summer , October moon
shining like the smile of the lantern in your room
we're sitting on your back porch,laughing ''neath the stars
when you ask me to play something sweet on my guitar
and right then and there I knew

That ..Only a love song , a light up the night song
I want you now song will do
not a song about a cowboy , a gambler or a thief
or a soldier lost in the war
not a song about a poet or a pauper or a priest
but of all the life I see in you
You are my muse
and only a love song will do

So I fumbled through some words like a thief I made 'em up
'bout how it feels to dance with you and how it brings me luck
and I thought of every cliche about your eyes and hair
how I don't know where I'm going but you always send me there
then you brushed your lips against me and the earth began to
mmmmmm.....

Chorus:

Bridge: I'm kin to the spirit of the sagebrush wind
like the raven I fly wild and free
'I'd rather be honest than to ever pretend
that you're not everything to me
