Jennifer Rush - The Power Of Love Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Best of Jennifer Rush Released:
1985 The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling 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
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of
The Power Of Love The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

LyricFindThe Power Of Love This was the first ever million seller by a female soloist in Britain and the biggest selling single in UK in 1985. It held the record for the largest-selling single ever by a woman until Whitney Houston's 1992 smash "I Will Always Love You." At the time it held the record for the longest ever climb to no 1 in UK- 16 weeks. Rush wrote this song along with Gunther Mende, Candy DeRouge and Mary Susan Applegate. The producer and songwriter David Foster, who helped her on her road to stardom, arranged the piece. The song was recorded in Germany, where Jennifer had relocated. In the US Rush's version reached #57 but it was later a hit for Laura Branigan (#26 in 1987) and Celine Dion (#1 in 1994 and also #4 in the UK). A rival version by Australian duo Air Supply released the same time peaked at #68 on the Hot 100. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson chose this for their first dance at their 1986 wedding. Many less famous couples did as well. Huey Lewis & The News and Frankie Goes To Hollywood also had Top-10 UK hits in 1985 with different songs called "The Power Of Love." New Yorker Jennifer Rush (real name Heidi Stern) is the daughter of opera singer Maurice Stern. This was her first hit in the UK. Her only other UK top 20 hit was her follow up "Ring Of Ice," which reached #14. In 1987 she made the US top 40 with a duet with Elton John entitled "Flames Of Paradise."
