Song Description
Those things that are generally considered very "important" in life are really not that important after all. Its not the games you win or lose but how did you play those games, It's not about the money, but how did you spend you dime? Its not your 9-5 job that will secure you future but was your work a labor of love? Possessions won't make you happy any more than a glass of wine will satisfy your thirst. Faith and hope are certainly powerful attributes, but the greatest is love.

Lyrics
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE
Words and music by Gary Lee Ireland
VERSE 1:
It's not the games that you've played
That makes you a winner or a loser
And it's not the color of the money
That will determine your worth
And it's not your nine to five
That will secure your future
But how did you play the games
How did you spend your dime
And was your work a labor of love
CHORUS:
It's all about love
It's all about love
Love is the way of life
Keeps all your dreams alive
Love is the way the truth and the life
It's all about love
It's all about love
VERSE 2:
It's not that ring on your finger
That brings you happiness
And it's not that glass of wine
That will satisfy your thirst
And don't trust those neon signs
To show you the way
But did you give or take
Drink from the cup of life
And did you discover the light
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Love is patient
It never gives up
There's faith and hope
But the greatest is love
CHORUS
