If we only have love < !signature-->Then tomorrow will dawn And the days of our years Will rise on that morn If we only have love To embrace without fears We will kiss with our eyes We will sleep without tears If we only have love With our arms open wide Then the young and the old Will stand at our side If we only have love Love that's falling like rain Then the parched desert earth Will grow green again If we only have love For the hymn that we shout For the song that we sing Then we'll have a way out If we only have love We can reach those in pain We can heal all our wounds We can use our own names If we only have love We can melt all the guns And then give the new world To our daughters and sons If we only have love Then Jerusalem stands And then death has no shadow There are no foreign lands If we only have love We will never bow down We'll be tall as the pines Neither heroes nor clowns If we only have love Then we'll only be men And we'll drink from the Grail To be born once again Then with nothing at all But the little we are We'll have conquered all time All space, the sun, and the stars... Jacques Brel These are lyrics but words that my heart recognised when I fell off a cliff so long ago Memories give you the power to collect roses in the winter...

hehe. I used to sing this song on the way to work and back....in 1974. Thank you, Rainbow, for reminding me how old and decrepit I am.  |

Beautiful song Rainbow ...  Quand on n'a que l'amour A s'offrir en partage Au jour du grand voyage Qu'est notre grand amour Quand on n'a que l'amour Mon amour toi et moi Pour qu'éclatent de joie Chaque heure et chaque jour Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour vivre nos promesses Sans nulle autre richesse Que d'y croire toujours Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour meubler de merveilles Et couvrir de soleil La laideur des faubourgs Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour unique raison Pour unique chanson Et unique secours Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour habiller matin Pauvres et malandrins De manteaux de velours Quand on n'a que l'amour A offrir en prière Pour les maux de la terre En simple troubadour Quand on n'a que l'amour A offrir à ceux-là Dont l'unique combat Est de chercher le jour Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour tracer un chemin Et forcer le destin A chaque carrefour Quand on n'a que l'amour Pour parler aux canons Et rien qu'une chanson Pour convaincre un tambour Alors sans avoir rien Que la force d'aimer Nous aurons dans nos mains Amis le monde entier.
