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
