Let Your Love Flow Song by The Bellamy Brothers ‧ 1976 Lyrics There's a reason for the sunshine sky And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high Must be the season when that love light shines All around us So let that feeling grab you deep inside And send you reeling where your love can't hide And then go stealing through the moonlit nights With your lover Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season, whoa whoa You let your love fly like a bird on a wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason There's a reason for the warm sweet nights And there's a reason for the candlelights Must be the season when those love rites shine All around us So let that wonder take you into space And lay you under its loving embrace Just feel the thunder as it warms your face You can't hold back Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season Let your love fly like a bird on a wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show and you'll know what I mean It's the season Let your love fly like a bird on a wing And let your love bind you to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason Just let your love flow like a mountain stream And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams And let your love show Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Lawrence Eugene Williams Let Your Love Flow lyrics The Bicycle Music Company The Bellamy Brothers – Let Your Love Flow Lyrics
