Let Love Be Love

A song about a relationship of soul flame love between Kaylee and Riki who met on the beach in Lyme Regis on a warm summers day, the connection was magical and beautiful, they came together not just in love but to do a great work with healing, sharing art and music and with a vision of a better world they grew food in the garden over lockdowns and tried to live in an alternative way.

Sometimes relationships as much as you really want to make things work, in the end have to part ways but the love that blossomed will always be forever, this song came from that experience.

Thankyou Kaylee for the gift you bring :)

lyrics

(VERSE)
It's taken so long to write this song
I've had to learn good things take time to unfold
Drop my expectations
All should arrive and unfold naturally

We Spent time together by the sea
Watching the movements of the tides
On a warm summers day
Two souls aligned with no expectations
Feeling the magic and spirit of love

(RUN DOWN)
And So it seems a love supreme
Really got inside of me
We held a vision
And a dream of a better world

(VERSE 2)
Let love be love and let life be life
A celebration of humankind
Yeah let love be a journey
Nothing more nothing less
And if it's meant to be Surely be now

With your soul so sweet
Tell me how could I resist?
Your heart had been torn
That's why I came along
I wanted to be the one to show you
A true loving man by your side

(RUN DOWN 2)
And so it seems a love supreme really got inside of me, yeah
We had forever to let the light of love grow strong

(MIDDLE 8 BRIDGE)
One day close the next in a fight
From two souls still hurting deep inside
I wanted to stay but I knew I had to leave
I couldn't stand us fighting this way
And If you love me I said then please let me be yeah
Become the man I was born to be and you might see
With no pressure and expectation on me
The light of love will blossom and flow naturally

(CHORUS)
Let love be love and let life be life
Let love be love
Don't you try and hold on
Let love be love and let life be life
The magic of love is living day to day

(SOLO)

(VERSE3) optional
I know you know
We can't turn back time no no
But the seeds we planted still grow
And all those good deeds are seen by the light above

Would you live it any other way
Would you give it any other way
I know we all try so hard
Would you live it any other way
Would you give it any other way
I know just how much you tried

(CHORUS)
Let love be love and let life be life
Let love be love
Don't you try and hold on
Let love be love and let life be life
The magic of love is living day to day
Celebrating the human way

(LAST VERSE)
I hope you know right now
You will always be a true love of mine
And If you're waiting to have your time
I know that the stars will soon re-align
Please remember the guy with a guitar in his hands
And the music that he played
I often wonder what became of the girl with the light in her eyes
And the beautiful sunlight smile
Sunlight smile


Let love be a journey
Nothing more
Nothing less
