No Reason To Love
A song by Yestyn Griffiths/Glass Pear

There’s something that I’ve never seen
in your eyes
Something that I’ve always felt
but I had to hide
Love never dies
Love never dies

Falling in the origin
High and wide
Every time I look for you
You’re by my side
Love always shines
Love always shines

You’re turning into gold
This time I’m letting go
There is no other world above

No why
or how
No reason to love

Together indivisibly you and I
Drifting through this mystery of space and time Love cannot die
Love has to shine

And if you are
the only one
Then I am satisfied

No why
or how
No reason to love

You’re turning into gold
This time I’m letting go
There is no other world above

Alive
So bright
No reason to love
No reason to love

- Yestyn Griffiths
