ONLY LOVE
She walked into town not knowin' a soul
Hopin' that a new beginning would make her whole
But she saw the signs day after day
Sayin' lay down your worries give em all away
She walks the hills
Most all the time
Trying to lose the life she left behind
But it follows her days
cnd haunts her nights
Clouded by the memories she holds inside
Let the past be the past and forgiveness be today
Hold on to the hope that love will lead the way
Chorus
Goin' up and down and round and round
Who we are follows us around
Goin' up and down and round and round
Only Love can turn us around
Bridge
We got love in our hearts we got blood in our veins
Helps us to know we're kinda the same
Sometimes we're nice, sometimes we're mean
Sometimes we wanna hide and forget we're in this dream
Break
She met this man now he holds her heart
He gives her everything right from the start
He takes her hand says, “Will you be mine?”
Together we can laugh all thru time
Chorus

The lyrics to "Only Love" by The Charmaines tell the story of a woman who moves to a new town in search of a fresh start. However, despite her best efforts, she finds it difficult to escape her past. The signs she encounters in the town encourage her to let go of her worries and surrender them to love. She spends her days walking the hills, trying to leave behind the life she left behind, but the memories continue to haunt her. The song emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and holding onto hope, believing that love will ultimately guide the way.
The chorus suggests that our actions and who we are as individuals follow us wherever we go. It implies that our past experiences shape us and influence our present and future. Only love has the power to change our paths and bring about transformation.
The bridge of the song highlights the universal nature of humanity. It reminds us that we all have love in our hearts and blood in our veins, which connects us and makes us similar. We have moments of kindness and meanness, and sometimes we yearn to escape from reality and forget about the complexities of life.
In the final verse, the woman finds love in the arms of a man who cherishes her. He offers her everything and asks her to be his. Their love brings joy and laughter throughout their journey together.
Overall, "Only Love" conveys a message of hope, forgiveness, and the belief that love can transform our lives. It reminds us that despite the challenges we may face, love has the power to turn us around and lead us towards a better future.
She walked into town not knowin' a soul
She arrived in a new place without knowing anyone
Hopin' that a new beginning would make her whole
She had a desire for a fresh start to bring her happiness and fulfillment
But she saw the signs day after day
She noticed the messages displayed repeatedly
Sayin' lay down your worries give em all away
Instructing her to let go of her concerns and release them completely
She walks the hills
She frequently strolls through the hilly landscapes
Most all the time
Almost constantly
Trying to lose the life she left behind
Attempting to distance herself from her previous existence
But it follows her days
Nevertheless, her past continues to affect her daily life
And haunts her nights
And troubles her during the nighttime
Clouded by the memories she holds inside
Her recollections weigh heavily on her mind and confuse her thoughts
Let the past be the past and forgiveness be today
Suggesting to let go of the past and embrace forgiveness in the present
Hold on to the hope that love will lead the way
Keep faith in the belief that love will guide her path
Goin' up and down and round and round
Experiencing various ups and downs, and going in circles
Who we are follows us around
Our true selves accompany us wherever we go
Only Love can turn us around
Love alone has the power to change our direction
We got love in our hearts, we got blood in our veins
Love resides within us, it flows through our veins
Helps us to know we're kinda the same
It enables us to understand that we share commonalities
Sometimes we're nice, sometimes we're mean
Occasionally we're kind, while other times we can be unkind
Sometimes we wanna hide and forget we're in this dream
At times, we desire to conceal ourselves and escape from reality
She met this man now he holds her heart
She encountered a man who now possesses her affection
He gives her everything right from the start
He provides her with everything she needs, from the very beginning
He takes her hand says, 'Will you be mine?'
He holds her hand and asks if she will become his partner
Together we can laugh all thru time
Jointly, they can share laughter for the rest of their lives
Only love can turn us around
Only love has the ability to change our direction
