Hank Snow - Love Is So Elusive lyrics

(Dave Burgess)

Love is so elusive but it's worth the effort

Once you find the key

Awakening to feel a touch and taste the sweetness

Won't come easily.

So hold it gently in your hand

Or it might slip away into the night

Yes, love is so elusive that it won't return

Once it's out of sight.

Love is like a soft caress a fevered kiss

A flame that burns your mind

A whispered promise telling you that you'll be

Leaving loneliness behind.

A brief look at tomorrow like a dream

Or perhaps an answered prayer

Though love is so elusive there's not doubt

About it once it's really there.

So just reach out and touch it

Watch it grow from just a tiny little seed

Yes, love is so elusive but it's everything

In your life you really need.

--- Instrumental Steel ---

Love is like a little bird that seems

To feel the urge to fly away

Searching for the arms to hold it tenderly

And make it want to stay.

Love is like the petals from a rose

Just a fragile work of art

Yes, love is so elusive but it's most content

When nearest to your heart.

So just reach out and touch it

Watch it grow from just a tiny little seed

Yes, love is so elusive but it's everything

In your life you really need.

Yes, love is so elusive but it's everything

In life you really need...
