For Love Alone - Michael Feinstein

For love alone, I did what otherwise I never could have done

Though if I lost a race or two, I should have won

And aimed a few too many arrows at the sun, it has been fun

When I was sure how very steep the price can be when love goes wrong

I held my hasty hardened check but not for long

Somehow I never could resist that siren song

If some dark day, I wake to find the love I felt was here to stay

Has slipped away

I’ll simply say, these are the breaks, one makes mistakes

I bought the lies but now I’m wise

And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise

And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone

But now I’m wise

And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise

And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone

For love alone
