Текст песни How Do You Hold On To Love (David Roth) с переводом

I’ve fallen in love with a girl in a photo

She’s kissing a boy who I swear I once knew

The picture is faded, the image is distant

But I think that this girl must be you

Her hair is reflecting the afternoon sunlight

She’s thrown back her head and she’s laughing with him

He’s standing along side as he catches her fall

But they’re both leaning out on a limb

I’d love to find those two people and ask them

How do you hold such a delicate dove

What do you use when you lose the excitement

And how do you hold on to love

I’ve fallen in love with a cupboard of spices

Reflecting the colors and flavors of us

All of the bottles and boxes and labels

All the directions and fuss

A teaspoon of anger, a cup of confusion

A pinch of denial and one paradox

Carefully measuring emotions for so long

All dried out and kept in a box

I’d love to ask all the spices and powders

Just when does your potency fail

If we keep something long enough up on the shelf

Will it always be bound to grow stale

I’ve fallen love with a closet of clothing

Your blouses and dresses, your robe and your shoes

The cats like to sleep on the shelf with the blankets

But I prefer sleeping with you

All of this time we’ve been hanging together

Our fibers and threads touching days after days

Sometimes so soft I could never remove you

Other times rubbing wrong ways

I’d like to know how those clothes in the closet

Survive all the wrinkles, the rips and the stains

And what do we do when our sizes are changing

And how do we grow with the gains

I’ve fallen in love with some girl in a photo

How can I hold such a delicate dove

What can we do to recapture excitement

And how do we hold on to love?

How do you hold on to love?
