Gino Vannelli - Love Of My Life Lyrics






Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you need
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a fool for a good woman's greed

You broke the wings of a weary vagabond
And I'm stranded on the island of your love
You are the fruit of my amazon
Love of my life I'm no good on my own

Love of my nights
Take my pride take my flesh
Take all my blues
Love of my life
Don't you know my life's a bore
When there's nothing to lose

I am the prisoner of your paradise
Sunken in the bayou of your love
I make this sensual sacrifice
Love of my life
For the good of my own
Love of my life
I'm no good on my own

Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you feel
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a man
For a woman who's real

Love of my life...

    YES, they made a great choice by asking Graham Lear to sit in as one of the first percussionist!!

  64. D.... B....

    You have to "HEAR" his music to appreciate the complex mix of talent with this band.
    True - MUSICIANS!!!!!!!!!

  65. A.... F....

    Remix? Sounds a bit cleaner than I remember, not as "thick".

    A.... F....

    If any song is begging for a really thick remix, this is it. Damn, that piano + synth bottom should be ramped. Great tune.

  66. M.... X....

    WOW toute une chanson ..... Les claviers la dessus sont incroyable ..du vrai talent de Montréal

  75. L.... P....

    The Greatest Ever!

  76. T.... 2....

    Gino's music is off the chains! Grew up hearing it all throughout my childhood in the 70s! Especially this track!

  77. B.... J....

    Oh Lord! I just threw away his 1976 concert pictures. My husband introduced me to Gino when I was 20 yrs old. And he died four years ago. I figured who needs pictures, when I have memories? I DO!

  78. M.... C....

    gREAT SONG. BRINGS BACK COLLEGE MEMORIES!!!

  79. k.... ....

    This brings back my younger life by so many ways im crazy or have great teast guess...He is great for ever thank you much :)

  80. M.... B....

    3 ans avant celui de QUEEN Gino Vanelli chanteur à la voix fabuleuse comme Freddy Mercury

    M.... B....

    Meglio Gino Vannelli molto più bella la sua voce e secondo me anche la sua musica. Freddy Mercury andava bene con il gruppo ma fuori da quel contesto non avrebbe fatto tanto successo. Ciaoooo

  81. J.... C....

    I cannot imagine the last 40 years without his music. It got me through the toughest times of my life. He is without a doubt the most underrated Entertainer 20th century. His music helps me have spiritual simplicity and to see romance in the commonplace. JC

    J.... C....

    I cant agree more, i started listening to Gino on AFN radio when i drove trough Germany about 40 years ago as a young truckdriver. and i still love his music. Lady or Rythym of Romance or whatever, his songs are still great and fine to listen to. signed Jaap Cleijne from Holland

    J.... C....

    @Jaap Cleijne mi mi

  82. B.... C....

    December 1976

  83. L.... M....

    He was in concert on my birthday in 1976 at CAL-POLY, POMONA.....My brother and room-mate Leroy Henderson turned me on to this JOINT!...Those very fond memories....Peace and Love!

  84. B.... I....

    Sir Gino Vannelli, when my heart first gave ear to his tunes. captured my mind my soul and we all took flight away from the horrors of the hood and shady survival mechanisms thereof and I was transposed to a land of pure grace; that momentary grace that crowns my life forever. It was like a song bird that wasn't supposed to sing, it wasn't supposed to be heard this side of hell.

  85. P.... R....

    Love Gino;; such inspired music

  86. d.... ....

    A true MASTER at his craft...one of the best EVER!!!!!!!!

    d.... ....

    He knows how to produce Great Music. An entertainer to boot...He also buys great Bass players and great Drummers...!!!

  87. M.... W....

    This was easily one of my very favorite vannelli tunes

    Jesse Rhomson Blakes Apple Orchard Armada Center Rd Armada MI 1818 Ponderosa Columbus MI 48063

  89. P.... H....

    have the vinyl since "78 ? At a very awkward stage in life when I first acquired this ! Triggers all the memories instantly - One criticism I have always had is the use of Synthesized Bass arrangements - The drumming is amazing !!!

  90. L.... R....

    This tune always made think of embarking on a brand new, tremendously fresh love with my soul mate :-)

    L.... R....

    the way you say that Mr. Lonnie Robinson
