  • Sometimes we make it harder than it is
    We'll take a perfect night
    And fill it up with words we don't mean
    Dark sides best unseen
    Then we wonder why we're feeling this way

    Sometimes I wonder if we really are to blame
    This world can be unkind
    And come between the strongest of hearts
    That's when we must start
    Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far

    That's what love is for
    To help us through it
    That's what love is for
    Nothing else can do it
    Melt our defenses
    Bring us back to our senses
    Give us strength to try once more
    Baby, that's what love is for

    Sometimes I see you
    And you don't know why I'm there
    And I'm washed away by emotions
    I hold deep down inside
    Getting stronger with time
    It's living through the fire
    And holding on we find

    That's what love is for
    To help us through it
    That's what love is for
    Nothing else can do it
    Melt our defenses
    Bring us back to our senses
    Give us strength to try once more
    Baby, that's what love is for, oh

    Believing in the one thing
    That has gotten us this far
    That's what love is for
    To help us through it
    That's what love is for
    Nothing else can do it
    Round off the edges
    Talk us down from the ledges
    Give us strength to try once more
    Baby, that's what love is for
    That's what love is for

    That's what love is for
    That's what love is for
    Melt our defenses
    Bring us back to our senses Writer/s: Amy Lee Grant, Mark Clifford Mueller, Michael Omartian
