The Power of Love Some popular songs resonate with a wide audience and are often copied over decades. I have arranged and recorded one of these songs the Power of Love which I made it my list of special songs. There are a small number of songs which appeal to me as hymns, anthems, big songs, the equivalent to Beethoven’s heroic rendition of Schiller’s poem, The Ode to Joy in the ninth symphony. These big songs are often about love of the highest calling.
The chorus is a promise that every normal man wants to hear from the woman he loves:” 'Cause I am your lady…” The promise of complete devotion seems realistic when you are falling in love, but fades or disappears over time. The promise suggests the biblical Ruth’s promise: “Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people.“ This promise has been made in a thousand ways, probably for thousands of years. Of course, every woman wants a man who makes a similar commitment, but men are notoriously fickle. Nietzsche stated that only superior men and women have the right to promise. Most promises are made to be broken, so that superior knowledge, understanding and discipline are required to maintain commitments over time. Here is a sample the Jenifer Rush Lyrics The whispers in the morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling by like thunder now As I look in your eyes I hold on to your body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender A love that I could not forsake 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms When the world outside's too much to take That all ends when I'm with you Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away But never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can

Jennifer Rush recorded the Power of Love in 1985 and it
became popular worldwide, making the Guinness Book of Records as the best
selling single by a female solo artist in the history of the British music
industry. That record was broken by Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"
in 1992. Laura Branigan’s cover made it to the U.S. Top 40 in 1987. Celine Dion
made another hit version in 1994. The lyrics express the euphoria of falling in love, the
reprieve “when the world outside's too much to take, that all ends when I'm
with you.”
