When the One You Love Feels Joy (#3)

Posted: Wed, 09/07/2011 - 03:16

Liner Notes: 

This is from a quote that moves me - "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."
— Robert A. Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land)

Lyrics: 

It’s funny that wishing you’d find someone
To fill your days with bliss
Is just the time you’ll stay alone
Such thoughts are really amiss

Chorus
When the one you love feels joy
Your heart feels that joy too
The smile on their lips creates your own
And when they’re blue you’re blue

Love’s not about feeling good yourself
Life throws this curve at you
You must see it’s what you give
That reveals a love that’s true

Chorus

You wonder if you even exist
You forget your own silly need
Their happiness means more and more to you
From your selfishness you’re freed

Chorus
