Topic: "Faces of Love"
My friend Saba Hasan asked me, and her other friends, to describe love and not one to miss out on a songwriting opportunity I decided to make a song out of it. To me love has many aspects: the love of a parent, a child, a friend and husband or wife. I've tried to capture my thoughts and feelings on love in this song.
Faces of Love By Jeff Gilpin
February 17th, 2008
Verse 1
[G]Growing up so [D]far
I’ve [Em]learned a bit about [C]love
A [G]word laced with much [D]mystery
[Em]And the aspects [A]of what I think of [D]love [D7]
Verse 2
[G]Mom and Dad looked [D]after me
[Em]Raised me to who I [C]am
[G]Hard to say just [D]where I’d be
[Em]Raised a different [A]way I can’t [D]say [D7]
Chorus
[Em]Life would not be [A]worth a [D]fraction
[Em]Without all the [A]people at[D]traction
[C]Without it I would not even [G]try
[Em]But with love driving I do more than get [A]by [Em] [A] [A7]
Verse 3
[G]More friends than I could [D]count
[Em]Growing up in ever changing [C]times
[G]Even though I lost track of [D]most
[Em]They hide so sub[A]lime in my [D]rhymes [D7]
Verse 4
[G]The reason I’m here to[D]day
[Em]Why I try hard to pur[C]sue
The [G]life that has led me [D]here
I [Em]go on because [A]you love me [D]true [D7]
Chorus
[Em]Life would not be [A]worth a [D]fraction
[Em]Without all the [A]people at[D]traction
[C]Without it I would not even [G]try
[Em]But with love driving I do more than get [A]by [Em] [A] [A7]
Verse 5
[G]Your world changes quite a [D]bit
The [Em]moment you help create [C]life
[G]I cannot describe how power[D]less
[Em]Looking on in [A]spite loving with all your [D]might [D7]
Verse 6
[G]So if tomorrow I’m gone from this [D]world
[Em]I’ll truly believe my life’s been worth[C]while
The [G]love I’ve had and been [D]given
[Em] Let me live in [A]style and with a [D]smile [D7]
Chorus
[Em]Life would not be [A]worth a [D]fraction
[Em]Without all the [A]people at[D]traction
[C]Without it I would not even [G]try
[Em]But with love driving I do more than get [A]by [Em] [A] [A7]
