Love Song

I'm learning lots of new music for the show I'm doing at the end of October. One of the pieces that's new to me is "Love Song" from Pippin. It's a very difficult song to learn because of lots of changes in the time signature. But the words. Oh, the words. This is what I look for in a relationship. How lovely.

Sitting on the floor and talking till dawn
Candles and confidences
Trading old beliefs and humming old songs
And lowering old defenses
Singing a
Love song-- La la la la la la la la la la
Love song-- La la la la

Private little jokes and silly pet names
Lavender soap and lotions
All of the cliches and all of the games
And all of the strange emotions
Singing a
Love song-- La la la la la la la la la la
Love song-- La la la la la

They say the whole is greater
Than the sum of the parts it's made of
Well if it's true of anything
It's true of love

'Cause how can you define a look or a touch?
How can you weigh a feeling?
Taken by themselves now they don't mean much
Together they send you reeling
Into a
Love song-- La la la la la la la la la la
Love song-- La la la la la
