John Denver - Perhaps Love Lyrics






Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when it's cold outside or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever and all my dreams come true, my memories of love will be of you

John Denver Perhaps Love Comments
  1. B.... M....

    2 seconds in and I’m already crying

  2. V.... T....

    some say love is holding on,some say letting go...very true to me.

  3. C.... E....

    Saw an old interview with Ann Denver. She said that her favorite song was not Annie's Song but was this one. Came here to listen to it since, although I'm 64 y/o, I had never heard it. Beautiful lyrics.

  4. L.... R....

    I love John Denver!

  5. b.... ....

    I don't dislike Placido Domingo, but I've always felt that just John's voice alone was enough for this incredibly beautiful song.

  6. A.... H....

    Back in the late 80s We sang this in first school and my teacher played the guitar. Happy memories :)

  7. G.... D....

    We miss you John Denver!

  8. M.... K....

    This song is so beautiful as it is sung here, solo by John Denver. Is there a CD with this on it rather than sung in a duet with Placido Domingo?

  9. S.... Y....

    I LOVE JOHN DENVER! I ALWAYS WILL....WHAT A LOSS IT WAS WHEN HE DIED! HE SINGS FROM THE HEART

  10. I.... N....

    He defines Love perfectly.🤗😍😅

  11. R.... G....

    Just beautiful! Love will see us through...

  14. S.... T....

    Thanks for posting!

  15. D.... F....

    Surprisingly, this is Annie's (his first wife) favourite song and not Annie's song

  16. D.... D....

    Those 379 idiots that gave this piece of music a thumbs down have to be those morons who are devoted to listening to that crap call rap

  17. S.... W....

    As empty and drops out just as acloud and just as fleeting just as nonexistent and passing.

  18. J.... D....

    My Dad and I used to sing this song and both of us are playing a guitar. Now he's gone, and there's no one that I can sing this song with.😥. Love you Dad.

  19. j.... s....

    amazing song

  20. A.... C....

    👌👍👏🤗

  21. S.... M....

    Love. 2019 as good a song today as it first was.

  22. M.... ....

    One of the Songs That Never Die.

  24. I.... T....

    The background picture they used is from my city. Hi City of Waterfalls 😍😍 Bisdak kini..

  25. t.... c....

  26. S.... ....

    I came here after watching Annie's interview (John Ex wife) that it's not "Annie's Song“ but this song is her favorite.

  27. S.... D....

    So perfect 🥺😢

  28. N.... G....

    My memories of love will be of you

    N.... G....

    Nichole Grandbouche did you know if John Denver was still alive he would have been 75?

    N.... G....

    @Andrew Sessa I did not know how old he was. He sure looked young. How old was he when he died? I can picture him during the perhaps love with Placedo Domingo era. I guess he would have been about my age at the time

    N.... G....

    Nichole Grandbouche he was 53 when he died

    N.... G....

    Nichole Grandbouche when he did perhaps love he was like 37 I think

  29. e.... r....

    so true, so warm so so beautyful .

    e.... r....

    enna rist did you know if John Denver was still alive he would have been 75 ?

    e.... r....

    @Andrew Sessa 31.12.43 of course I knew

  30. J.... J....

    R.I.P. He died in an aircrash. He was the pilot.

  31. G.... E....

    sigh!   love..love ..love  John Denver

  32. L.... F....

    I just noticed the word changes in Verse 4 of this recording of "Perhaps Love:. "Ocean" to Mountain; "Pain" to Change. I like it.

  33. s.... ....

    This is my dads favorite song and I see why now

  34. G.... E....

  38. L.... S....

    Thank you so much for providing a pure version of this song with just John's voice. I can't stand the other one! No attacks please, it's just if I wanted opera I'd go to the Met, not a John Denver album.

  53. S.... ....

    Perhaps love's a neurotoxin?
    A poison of the brain.
    It saps you of your reason,
    and makes you go insane.
    And even if you find someone an ideal match for you.
    The odds are that the bitch won't follow through.

  54. M.... T....

    歌词诉:“我对爱的回忆将是您的 (My memories of love will be of you)" 。
    这句话很好地说明了我内心的声音咯❗️

  55. M.... V....

    Dada Tagle,
    Perhaps love is like a resting place
    A shelter from the storm
    It exists to give you comfort
    It is there to keep you warm
    And in those times of trouble
    When you are most alone
    The memory of love will bring you home
    Perhaps love is like a window
    Perhaps an open door
    It invites you to come closer
    It wants to show you more
    And even if you lose yourself
    And don't know what to do
    The memory of love will see you through
    Oh, love to some is like a cloud
    To some as strong as steel
    For some a way of living
    For some a way to feel
    And some say love is holding on
    And some say letting go
    And some say love is everything
    And some say they don't know
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    Full of conflict, full of pain
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Or thunder when it rains
    If I should live forever
    And all my dreams come true
    My memories of love will be of you
    And some say love is holding on
    And some say letting go
    And some say love is everything
    And some say they don't know
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    Full of conflict, full of pain
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Or thunder when it rains
    If I should live forever
    And all my dreams come true
    My memories of love will be of you,Hon!

    Perhaps love is like a resting place
    也許愛就像一個安息的地方
    A shelter from the storm
    風暴的避難所
    It exists to give you comfort

    It is there to keep you warm
    它是為了讓你保持溫暖
    And in those times of trouble
    在那些遇到麻煩的時候
    When you are most alone
    當你最孤單的時候
    The memory of love will bring you home
    愛的記憶會把你帶回家
    Perhaps love is like a window
    也許愛就像一扇窗戶
    Perhaps an open door
    也許是一扇門
    It invites you to come closer
    它邀請你走近一點
    It wants to show you more
    它想告訴你更多
    And even if you lose yourself
    即使你迷失了自己
    And don't know what to do
    而且不知道該怎麼做
    The memory of love will see you through
    愛的記憶會讓你看到

    To some as strong as steel
    對於像鋼一樣強大的人
    For some a way of living
    對於一些生活方式
    For some a way to feel
    對於某種感覺的方式
    And some say love is holding on
    有人說愛情正在堅持下去
    And some say letting go
    有人說放手吧
    And some say love is everything
    有人說愛就是一切
    And some say they don't know
    有些人說他們不知道
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    也許愛情就像海洋一樣
    Full of conflict, full of pain
    充滿衝突,充滿痛苦
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    外面很冷,就像火一樣
    Or thunder when it rains
    或下雨時的雷聲
    If I should live forever
    如果我應該永遠活著
    And all my dreams come true
    我所有的夢想都成真了
    My memories of love will be of you
    我對愛的回憶將是你的
    And some say love is holding on
    有人說愛情正在堅持下去
    And some say letting go
    有人說放手吧
    And some say love is everything
    有人說愛就是一切
    And some say they don't know
    有些人說他們不知道
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    也許愛情就像海洋一樣
    Full of conflict, full of pain
    充滿衝突,充滿痛苦

    外面很冷,就像火一樣
    Or thunder when it rains
    或下雨時的雷聲
    If I should live forever
    如果我應該永遠活著
    And all my dreams come true
    我所有的夢想都成真了
    My memories of love will be of you
    我對愛的回憶將是你的

  81. R.... A....

    This song is lousy without Placido Domingo.

    R.... A....

    Robert A. Lofgren Jr. wat een belachelijke opmerking, John Denver heeft een prachtige stem. En als jij liever Placido Domingo wilt horen, ga dan naar een andere site.marian, en veel plezier.

    Clearsa Wynn thank you so much <3 in the end it only mattered that I could find it in the archive of the media company who did the photo montage for my mum's funeral and they had it! Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful heart he had. Sadly at this moment I can't quite bear to hear it again! But that too will change. Thank you so much for letting me know <3
