"Love Is Only Love", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Barbra Streisand, menyajikan perspektif yang unik tentang esensi cinta. Ia menyatakan bahwa meskipun cinta tidak selalu diiringi oleh kejadian-kejadian dramatis seperti bintang jatuh atau lonceng berdentang, namun tetap memiliki keindahan dan kepuasan yang cukup. Lagu ini menekankan bahwa kehadiran sejati dalam hubungan, ditunjukkan melalui sentuhan dan tatapan yang hening, jauh lebih berharga daripada pertunjukan eksternal lainnya.
Love Is Only Love Lyrics
Barbra Streisand
[Dolly:]
Horace Vandergelder, Mrs. Horace Vandergelder
Just leave ev'rything to me
Though it wont be like the first time
How can it be like the first time?
But Why does it have to be?
Don't look for shooting stars
For love is only love
You touch and still you touch the proud
Don't listen for those bells
For love is only love
And if it's love you've found
Your heart won't hear a sound
And you hold his hand
You only hold his hand
The violins are all a bluff
But if you're really wise
The silence of his eyes
Will tell you
Love is only love
And it's wonderful enough
Without the shooting star
Without the sounds of bells
Without the violins
Love is wonderful enough!
Horace Vandergelder, Mrs. Horace Vandergelder
Just leave ev'rything to me
Though it wont be like the first time
How can it be like the first time?
But Why does it have to be?
Don't look for shooting stars
For love is only love
You touch and still you touch the proud
Don't listen for those bells
For love is only love
And if it's love you've found
Your heart won't hear a sound
And you hold his hand
You only hold his hand
The violins are all a bluff
But if you're really wise
The silence of his eyes
Will tell you
Love is only love
And it's wonderful enough
Without the shooting star
Without the sounds of bells
Without the violins
Love is wonderful enough!
