Analysis of The L Word

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)



Love is Precious,  Love is Kind

Love is Affection, Love is Mine

Love is Magical, Love is True

Love is What I Feel Toward You.

Love is What I Feel Inside

A Powerful Emotion I cannot Hide

Love is Special, Passionate and True

Love is What I Feel Toward You.

You Are my Everything, You Are What I Need

You Are the Air to Help me to Breathe

You Are My Morning, You are My Night

You Are the Sunshine that Shines so Bright.

You Are the Moon that Glows in the Sky

You Are the One that carries me By and By

You Are the Sugar in My Sweet

You Are the One that Makes My Life Complete.

Love is What I Feel Inside

You keep me Going, You keep me Alive

I Have No Doubts that This is Real

The True Love between Us and the Way we Feel.
