Why God Made Love Songs Lyrics

There ain't nothing that can start a fire

Break down walls, lift you higher

While you sing along

When you want to say it, but your words are gone

That's why God made love songs

Now, a boy meets girl on a cool summer night

When he sees her smile under the football lights

He forgets the game,

Yeah, he's gotta know her name

After awkward pauses and nervous talk

Running out of words in the parking lot

They get in his truck

And he turns that radio up

A song starts playin',

Hearts start racin'

No more waitin'

On that first kiss

There ain't nothing that can start a fire

Break down walls, lift you higher

While you sing along

Ain't it somethin', how it can take you back

To another time, like you never left

And the feeling's just as strong

When you want to say it, but your words are gone

That's why God made love songs

Well, they met at a dance at the armory

In the summer of nineteen sixty-three

That local band played,

And they were swept away

Nearly fifty years have come and gone

Kids and grandkids almost grown

Still, every Friday night,

He digs out that forty-five

Without thinkin',

They start dancin'

And they fall in love again

There ain't nothing that can start a fire

Break down walls, lift you higher

While you sing along

Ain't it somethin', how it can take you back

To another time, like you never left

And the feeling's just as strong

When you want to say it, but your words are gone

That's why God made love songs

God made love songs

There ain't nothing that can start a fire

Break down walls, lift you higher

While you sing along

Ain't it somethin', how it can take you back

To another time, like you never left

And the feeling's just as strong

There ain't nothing that can start a fire

Break down walls, lift you higher

While you sing along

When you want to say it, but your words are gone

And you sure don't want to get it wrong

That's why God made love songs

God made love songs
