There ain't nothing
that can start a fire
Break down walls
lift you higher
While you sing along
When you want to say it
but your words are gone
That's why God
made love songs
Now a boy meets girl
on a cool summer night
When he sees her smile
under the football lights
He forgets the game
Yeah he's gotta
know her name
After awkward pauses
and nervous talk
Running out of words
in the parking lot
They get in his truck
And he turns that radio up
A song starts playin'
Hearts start racin'
No more waitin'
On that first kiss
There ain't nothing
that can start a fire
Break down walls
lift you higher
While you sing along
Ain't it somethin' how
it can take you back
To another time
Like you never left
And the feeling's just as strong
When you want to say it
but your words are gone
That's why God
made love songs
Well they met at a dance
at the armoury
In the summer of 1 963
That local band played
And they were swept away
Nearly fifty years
have come and gone
Kids and grand-kids
almost grown
Still every Friday night
He digs out that forty-five
Without thinkin'
They start dancin'
And they fall in love again
There ain't nothing
that can start a fire
Break down walls
lift you higher
While you sing along
Ain't it somethin' how
it can take you back
To another time
Like you never left
And the feeling's just as strong
When you want to say it
but your words are gone
That's why God
made love songs
God made love songs
Oh oh oh
There ain't nothing
that can start a fire
Break down walls
lift you higher
While you sing along
Ain't it somethin' how
it can take you back
To another time
Like you never left
And the feeling's just as strong
There ain't nothing
that can start a fire
Break down walls
lift you higher
While you sing along
When you want to say it
but your words are gone
And you sure don't want
to get it wrong
That's why God
made love songs
God made love songs
