England Dan & John Ford Coley...Love is the Answer

Lyrics...Love is the Answer:

Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore, to shore, to shore
If there's a short cut I'd have found it
But there is no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads
And walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dying planet
(What are the chances)

Ask the man in your heart
For the answer

And when you feel afraid
(Love one another)
When you've lost your way
(Love one another)
And when you're all alone
(Love one another)
And when you're far from home
(Love one another)
And when you're down and out
(Love one another)
And when your hopes run out
(Love one another)
And when you need a friend
(Love one another)
And when you're near the end
(Love)
(We've got to love)
(We've got to love one another)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer


Thank you all who visit this page. My original comments posted at outset have disappeared so I am posting by request the lyrics of probably this duo's greatest hit. Please also check out my other posting for a double HD renditon of this song and What's Forever For. I am happy to see so many new YouTube postings over the past year for this underated ensemble. Enjoy! Enjoy!

Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer...

Wish music still sounded and felt like this!

[EleanorMorley]

This song brings back so many memories for me. I was 9 when my mum and dad split up and me and my mum moved into a rented house, struggled everyday with money and we'd listen to this almost every single day. I'm 17 now, she has a husband and we live in a beautiful house. We were sat eating dinner yesterday and this came on the radio, me and my mum both burst into tears instantly. So many memories x

Great to hear things worked out. This songs reminds me when I was seventeen taking my SAT on a Saturday morning in AL. Funny how songs bring back memories, take care.

[Dan Olson]

[luis contreras ramirez]

que bella cancion,de esos tiempos de musica de buena calidad y de una belleza unica.amo el soft rock.

[bobwalsh172]

Those interleaved vocal lines bring back memories of the Everly Brothers - and these chaps are just as good. Such a sparse arrangement - strings and keyboards way behind a top-notch drum & bass duo - but I guess it just makes the vocals shine all the brighter. Love the soprano sax too.

[El Cachimbon]

que cancion mas hermosa....

[borysbrzytwa1]

and mustache

[Mark Kohl]

Such a lovely song with the most fundamental and meaningful message.

[Anjelica Marrujo]

RIP England Dan.....I still love this song from the 70's and yeah, Todd Rundgren needs to be in the RRH of Fame, but maybe next year???? He is a great entertainer, and a fantastic song writer, thank you for posting this song, LOVE IS THE ANSWER!!!!

[Laura Breslau]
