"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...
