Dio - As Long As It's Not About Love

Off Dio's 2000 Concept album Magica.

Lyrics:
Require, explanation. What is love?
Who is love? When is love? Where is love? Why is love?

From the first time we touched with our eyes
Only magic could take away my heart
I am always afraid for my heart
So lay beside me now and tell me lies - sweet lies
As long as it's not about love

Shall we sail off the edge of the world
Fall forever and never look behind
But I must keep my heart from my mind
Lay beside me now and tell me lies
As long as it's not about love

Oh the last time we touched with our eyes
And the magic was stronger than the heart
Oh, I can't run away with my heart
So, lay beside me now and tell me lies
As long as it's not about love

Shall we sail off the edge of the world
Fall forever
Take my heart away but no
You can't say words about love
Ooh

If the magic comes between us
And we never meet again
Take a part of me away
'Cause maybe it's all above love
Love, ooh

[PriestTestament]

Not a problem. I know what you mean, this is such a beautiful song and it can be very uplifting. Leave it to Ronnie to come up with such a great piece of music! I'm glad to hear that this song could help you and I hope that all goes well :)

[Diofan1952]

Wow, same taste! I like 'Eriel' and 'Fever dreams' a lot too, no, actually I love the whole album ;) \m/

[PriestTestament]

[Diofan1952]

OMG, one of my favorite songs of great DIO! Thanks for this PriestTestament \m/

[PriestTestament]

No problem. This is definetly my favorite song on the album, either this or losing my insanity.

[SomeWackyDude]

I keep expecting "Baby don't hurt me!"

I know it's blasphemy but i couldn't help myself

[dudiaz]

@nevernvere16 haha yeah I expected that too:) that's my favourite Rainbow song. Oh you could also look up "Yngwie Malmsteen & Dio - Dream On", cover on Aerosmith. It sounds awesome if you ask me;) Cheers man!

[nevernvere16]

@dudiaz i realy liked them all but out of those four i loved rainbow eyes :) thanks again

[dudiaz]

@nevernvere16 Looked them up? What do you think:)?

[nevernvere16]

@dudiaz thank you very much my friend and i appreciate it alot

[dudiaz]

@nevernvere16 Not sure about the band Dio, but check out his Rainbow ballads (or mellow songs):

Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes

Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow

Rainbow - Temple of the King

And you should check out the song "Don't Talk To Strangers". Not exactly a ballad, but it's similarly haunting like this one:) Cheers

[FreddieMercury1994]

Dio is great

[nevernvere16]

does dio have any songs simillar to this one ,like another balad ?

[ZimTheHomicidalAlien]

Makes me think of Stephen Kings Dark Tower books.

you know when i listen to the lyrics i think of my beautiful girlfriend, and as dio progresses through the story of his "feelings" I felt the same way with my gf, at first i was in it just for the ride, just to see how things would go, but in two weeks time i fell in love with her and now as i listen to this song i thank Dio for this song
