“Love Will Keep Us Alive“, is a song written by Jim Capaldi, Paul Carrack, and Peter Vale. It was performed first by the Eagles in 1994, during their “Hell Freezes Over” reunion tour. It was sung by bassist Timothy B. Schmit.
According to the liner notes in the booklet to their 2003 greatest hits CD, this song was written when Carrack and Schmit were going to make a band during the late eighties or early nineties. This project was never fully realized, so Schmit used the song for the Eagles’ reunion album. This song was also recorded by Capaldi and Dave Mason on the 40,000 Headman tour and live album, and by Carrack and Lindsay Dracass on his 2007 album Old, New, Borrowed and Blue.
Lyrics
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry…love will keep us alive
Don’t you worry
Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I’ve found you
There’s no more emptiness inside
When we’re hungry…love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Now I’ve found you
There’s no more emptiness inside
When we’re hungry, love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you’ve given me the will to survive
When we’re hungry…love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry…love will keep us alive
When we’re hungry…love will keep us alive
