Astrid’s Simply Bassey #187

This weekend I will play the last of Mark’s 3 Wishes.  The song is called “If We Only Have Love”. From the 1972 Album “And I Love You So”. Released 2000 on CD.

This is a beautiful song from the musical “Jaques Brel is Alive and Well & Living in Paris”

Jacques Brel

Lyric:

If we only have love 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, 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 with our arms open wide
And the young and the old will stand at our side
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 to be shared by all men
And we will drink from the grail to be born once again
If we only have love, if we only have love, if we only have love
