Spirit, show us the way
Take love away and we are ruined
Take love away and we are lost
Take love away and we are ruined
Lose it and we are lost
Take love away and we are ruined
Where would we be if we should lose it?
Take love away and we are ruined
Lose it and we are lost
How would it feel to never find love
Where would we be if we lose love
How would we feel without love
How would we feel without love?
Take love away and we are lost if love is gone
Take love away we are ruined without our love
In a world without each other
How could we go on living our lives?
Where would we be without each other
How could we go on
How could we dare to face each other
How could we carry on?
Where could we run to
Where would we hide
Where could we run to
Where would we hide
Where could we run to – hide?
Our love, our love
Strengthen our love
Strengthen our love
Our love, our love
Show us how to find ourselves
Guide us from above
(Our love, our love)
Teach us how to find new words
Find new words for love
(Our love, our love)
Confirma amorem meum
Amorem meum
Conserva veritatem
Fac beatam animan meam
Confirma amorem meum
Strengthen my love
Keep the truth
Make my soul blessed
Strengthen my love
Keep my truth
Make my soul blessed
Confirma conserva veritatem
Spiritus, teach us to love
Spiritus, spitirus lead us to love

Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 2) 1990-2012
This new book by Luca Perasi traces Paul McCartney's post-Beatles output from 1990 to 2012 in the form of 250 song entries, filled with details about the recordings, stories behind the sessions and musical analysis. His pop albums, his forays into classical and avant-garde music, his penchant for covering old standards: a complete book to discover how these languages cross-pollinate and influence each other.
The second volume in a series that has established itself as a unique guide to take the reader on a journey into the astonishing creativity of Paul McCartney.
