Is This Love Lyrics

I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful 'til the bitter end

Now, I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me it's not just a physical rush

Is This Love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now, I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk ,can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
'Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other if the moment is right

Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

I've tread those mean streets, blind alleys
Where the currency of love changes hands
All touch -- no feelin'
Just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayer?

Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love that I'm feelin
Is this love

Is This Love Song Chart

The first single from Survivor's sixth album, this was written by their songwriting tandem of keyboard player Jim Peterik and guitarist Frankie Sullivan. In our interview with Peterik , he explained: "That's another song that I wrote out of experience. 'We run those mean streets, blind alleys where the currency of love changes hands, all touch, no feeling, just another one night stand,' we've all felt that. I felt that when I was dating and on the road and empty relationships that you knew weren't going to go anywhere. What is love? It's a guy questioning that."

This song peaked on the Hot 100 in January 1987. In December that same year, a Whitesnake song called "Is This Love?" rose to #2. That song has a heavier sound but a very similar sentiment and the same hook line: "Is this love that I'm feeling?"
