That's Why They Write Love Songs

(Driving in the moonlight[?])
It's on the big screen like
It's in a painting
Or one of the day dreams
(Get too lost[?]) with no
Reason to be there
Found when the universe thinks its time

You to me
Are all those things
But I don't have the words
That I really need to be heard
Now I get it

That's why they write love songs
When I feel so damn right
How can it be wrong
Mind and body turn to soul
I'm bathing in your light
That's why they write
Love songs

I want you to take me away like a
Night at the opera like
Racing in a fast car
Or a shooting-star ride
We can live like a
Movie melodrama like
Casablanca
In black and white

You to me
Are all those things
But I don't have the words
That I really need to be heard
Now I get it

That's why they write love songs
When I feel so damn right
How can it be wrong
Mind and body turn to soul
I'm bathing in your light
That's why they write
Love songs

So here's to you
My finest champagne
My orchestra
My "singing in the rain"
And here's to us

The loveliest thing on planet earth is
Love love love!
