Lyrics For Love Alone - Michael Feinstein

For Love Alone

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
