La Da Da (Slow Down Feel Love)
Words by Finian Makepeace, © The Makepeace Brothers.
Slow down
Feel love
Don’t frown
Keep it up
One morning late in June
Out mowing her front yard
She looked up suddenly
And feels in her heart
That she is living in a play
That she wanted no part
So she jumps from her comfort
Just to see what she could start
And says,
“If I died today
Would I get to say
That I’ve loved
And I’ve opened up my heart?”
Chorus: La da da da da
So he speeds in
To the town where he was born
Just to show familiar faces
He could make it on his own
But as he steers from the love
That comes from all his friends
He asks himself in that moment
“Where has my heart been?”
And says,
“If I died today
Would I get to say
That I’ve loved
And I’ve opened up my heart?”
[Chorus]
Bridge:
I know I’ve been giving
Only just a piece of my love
A piece of you
A piece of me
What’s it take to be love in the face of hurt?
A piece of you a piece of me.
[Chorus]
