"Bring me a higher love..."

Updated: Jul 10

Woke up this morning with these words playing in my mind...


"Bring me a higher love..."


And began thinking about other songs about the theme of love....These next ones are just from what I recalled at that moment...Didn't look online for other prompts...


Oh...Before moving on here...STOP in the name of LOVE...and make your own LOVElist...AND, if you'd like, please share them with me...


  • Your love's lifting me higher...

  • Easy like Sunday morning...

  • What's love got to do with it...

  • All you need is love

  • Good lovin'

  • 1 Corinthians 13

My early morning musings continued...


  • While it's relatively EASY when we're young and in love...what about when we get so much older???...like when we're 64...

  • Well...I'm now 75...and that's more than ten years after...

  • Ten Years After


FYI: There's a LOVE/Play list near the end of this post...
