  • I've heard talk of blind devotion
    Lovers through thick and thin
    Lives touched with real emotion
    Faithful 'til the bitter end

    Now, I must admit that the story's attractive
    I've lost in far too many affairs
    I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
    I need to prove to myself
    This is more than a crush
    Can you convince me it's not just a physical rush

    Is this love that I'm feelin'
    Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
    Is this love that I'm feelin
    Is this love

    So many nights in blind confusion
    I've walked the line of love
    We reach out in disillusion
    When one night isn't nearly enough
    Now, I'd like to know that for once in my life
    I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
    I've heard all your talk ,can I take it to heart
    Now look me straight in the eye
    'Cause tonight is the night
    We've got to ask each other if the moment is right

    Is this love that I'm feelin'
    Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
    Is this love that I'm feelin
    Is this love

    I've tread those mean streets, blind alleys
    Where the currency of love changes hands
    All touch -- no feelin'
    Just another one night stand
    I need to know that there's someone who cares
    Could you be the angel to answer my prayer?

    Is this love that I'm feelin'
    Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
    Is this love that I'm feelin
    Is this love Writer/s: FRANK SULLIVAN, JIM PETERIK

  • Louis from New EnglandSounds like Tommy Shaw on backing vocals
  • Patrick Longworth from Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, CanadaI prefer Survivor's song to Whitesnake's and as far as similar lyrics, only superficially is that true. I did an "air band" performance of Jimi Jamison and Survivor in my grad year. I love the song and the lyrics, the video is a decent one focusing solely on the band rather than injecting a story line like in "The Search is Over".
  • Naoko from California Wow! it's Another my favorite Survivor song. This song was made earlier than Whitesnake's one. How come they used the same lines?
    I found this song in YouTube, they were on the Japanese TV. They played it so great! I miss Jimi so much...
    I wondered why the Grammy Award in 2015 didn't mention Jimi's name "In Memoriam"
