Is It Love? Songtext
von John Denver

This is a new love song that I wrote
There′s a part for you
"Is it love?"
"Is it love?" Oh, I'll let you know it
Everybody sing: "Is it love?", yeah
Oh, in the words of late Harry Nilsson, God rest his soul
"The song was sung with spirit but soft, and like a choir"
I wish I had said that, I was
Is it love? Everybody
One, two, a-one, two, three

I know how it feels to be head over heels
To be lost in true love and the light of the moon
When everything seems to be coming up roses
Every word seems to be rhyming with June

And suddenly all of your dreams have come true
Happiness lives in your heart
Then out of nowhere, one becomes two
And everything seems to be falling apart


(Is it love?) When your heart feels like it′s broken
(Is it love?) And you just can't take anymore
(Is it love?) When there's nothing that′s left to be spoken
(Is it love?) And there′s nothing worth listening for
(Is it love?) Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

I know what it means to get caught up in dreams
And in prayers that are answered with each passing day
When loving and laughter are birds of a feather
And sharing and caring just one simple way

You know you'll never be all alone
Someone will always be near
Then you turn around and your best friend is gone
Oh, where do they go when they just disappear?

(Is it love?) When your heart feels like it′s broken
(Is it love?) And you just can't take anymore
(Is it love?) When there′s nothing that's left to be spoken, ha, ha
(Is it love?) And there′s nothing worth listening for
(Is it love?) Ooh, ooh, ooh

There's no answer, there seems to be nothing to say
In your anger, would you even hear anyway?
It was magic but somehow, you've broken the spell
It was heaven but somehow, it′s turned into hell


(Is it love?) When you know that your heart has been broken
(Is it love?) And you just can′t take it anymore
(Is it love?) When you feel more than you could imagine
(Is it love?) Now there's nothing that′s worth living for
(Is it love?) Ooh, ooh, ohh

Is it love? Oh, oh
(Is it love?)
Another expression of love (Is it love?)
You could be falling in love (Is it love?)
I don't wanna be in love, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
