Quincy Jones - The Places You Find Love lyrics

It was raining when I met you
You were soaking wet no time to be impressed
And I remember, so much later on
I knew that you were someone
I would not forget
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour
You know too many hearts are in a rush
But no matter how you try to
You can't explain the places you find love
No, can't explain it no

I can feel it all around me
The need to find the place
Where feelings can be safe
It's not money that buys happiness
It's not the shine of silver that
Puts the heart to rest everybody's pushing
The clock is always running
And no one ever seems to have enough
And when you least expect it
You come upon the places you find love
Love, love, remember

In a flash, the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it's missed you
Reaching deep inside to find
Your secret heart yeah, yeah
Look around, you'll notice you're flying
And for once, you're not even trying
City lights below you like
A million tiny stars
Like a million tiny stars are out, mhm

It's a river never stopping
Winding in and out
But you should never doubt
It will lead you to the ocean someday
There's no way to fight it
Let it carry you away, oh
Everybody's dreaming, waiting for the feeling
For that moment when they finally rise above
But, it's always in the giving
That gets you to the places
That you find love yeah, yeah

In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up (Never giving up)
They still believe in love, sweet love

In a flash, the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it's missed you
Reaching deep inside to find
Your secret heart yeah, yeah
Look around, you'll notice you're flying
(Look around you)
And for once, you're not even trying
City lights below you like
A million tiny stars
(A million tiny stars, yeah)
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
(Little children)
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up
They still believe in love, sweet love
In a flash, the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it's missed you
Reaching deep inside to find
Your secret heart yeah, yeah
Look around, you'll notice you're flying
And for once, you're not even trying
City lights below you like
A million tiny stars (A million tiny stars)
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up
They still believe in love, sweet love
