Love Is Like a Violin Lyrics

Love was like a violin playing soft and low
In your heart you held the strings, in my heart the bow
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything

You were like a mountain stream, flowing fast and free
You were like the autumn leaves, blowing from my tree
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything, everything

First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know
You were wrong, you know you were wrong
You know for every feeling there's a song

After all the leaves had gone, you were winter snow
You were so cold and far away, I had to let you go
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything, everything

First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know
First dance you were mine, first dance we made it
Last dance, last chance, you know I know
You were wrong, you know you were wrong
You know for every feeling there's a song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Actually on the LP inner sleeve and the CD Booklet a fourth verse is printed just after the verse “Love is like a violin …” and the verse “"You were like a mountain stream …” is printed after the first refrain, but this long version was never recorded.

The lyrics of this verse are:

“Love was like a summer breeze, after pouring rain
Blowing all the clouds away, bringing sun again
Together we made soft sweet music, together we believed
In every day in every hour our love was everything”
