There's More True Lovers Than One Lyrics

Jonatha Brooke There's More True Lovers Than One

JONATHA'S NOTE:
Woody wrote "love the one you're with' wayyyyy before
its time!! I love his postscript on this one. So I had
to include it in the liner notes. It's just a great
rocker, and of course Eric Bazilian brings it up that
extra notch that only he can find.
LYRICS:

Look out acrost that sea and see those breakers swell
How many a love it's washed away no human tongue can
tell
Nobody can ever solve that dark sea's mysteries
How many a love has bloomed and blown the same as you
and me


There's more true lovers than one
There's more true lovers than one
Cast out aside by every tide
There's more true lovers than one


I looked acrost that sea to see them whitecap breakers
rise
True love comes in like an ocean tide and like the wind
it flies
Upon these moonlit sands how many a vow was sworn
How many a heart has tossed and broke while love went
rolling on


There's more true lovers than one
There's more true lovers than one
Cast out aside by every tide
There's more true lovers than one


The moon so high above sees many a kiss exchanged
Sees many a heart that has to part to never return
again
We carv'd our names in the sand where love's great
waters roll
But names untold have washed away while love goes
rolling on


There's more true lovers than one
There's more true lovers than one
Cast out aside by every tide
There's more true lovers than one


**one night I saw the sea. I had always wanted to see
the sea. In Oklahoma I wondered and thought about it
and I tried to picture in my mind just how it might be,
how it might feel, and what it must do to a man to be
cast like a shadow from the light of the moon
flickering and wafering and movering along the olden
sands of the ocean shores. The night I saw it, the
feeling came over me from the only place that
inspiration can come from, and I went home and spent my
next day writing this song. Me and Lefty Lou has sung
it many many times now up and down your radio dial
there and we still get lots of requests to do it all
over again. It makes a feller feel full of a power of
some odd kind to see that he has done something in one
of his hours or one of his moments and that the rest of
the world likes to hear him sing the tale and the story
of that moment. I won't mention the girl's name that
was there to give this song its start, she knows her
name better than I do.
