Love IsAlannah Myles

Songwriter: David Tyson Christopher Ward

Producer: David Tyson

Hard to get
Impossible to hold
Straight as an arrow
Like a burnin' fuse
In the long cold dawn
By the side of the road
A hopeless case
A perfect thing

Love is ... what you want it to be
Love is ... heaven to the lonely
Show me what you want me to do
Cause love is what I've got for you

Close my eyes
Search the stars
Cry for help
Wake up cold
You're in my system
Under my skin
Raw emotion
Please don't go

Love is .... What you want it to be
Love is .... Heaven to the lonely
Show me what you want me to do
Cause love is what I've got for you

Can't live on promises
Won't sleep with lies
Don't understand the things you say
Til I read 'em in your eyes
Gotta run on instinct, gotta go by feel
Gotta trust my senses
To know if it's for real

Love is ... what you want it to be
Love is ... heaven to the lonely
Show me what you want me to do
Cause love is what i've got for you
Love is...

Alannah Myles

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
