At the Speed of Love

Music and lyrics by Bernard Hull

Chorus:
At the speed of love I will come to you
When you need me, I’ll be there,
At the speed of love I will get to you,
And with loads of time to spare,
If you want me near when I’m far away,
And it doesn’t matter where,
If you call my name,
In a heartbeat,
I’ll be there.

Verse 1:
There’s a man named Bolt who is very swift,
Leaving all the rest behind,
Does the hundred dash under nine point six,
He’s the fastest man you’ll find,
Then compared with that, there’s a cheetah cat,
Does it under six point two,
But I’m here to say, “There’s a faster way,
To get from me to you!”

Repeat Chorus:

Verse 2:
There’s a guy named Lance in the Tour de France,
Who wears Lycra on his thighs,
Twenty two speed mills send them down those hills,
Reaching speeds of eighty five,
But on icy runs, skiers get their fun,
Reaching speeds three times as fast,
But I’ll let you know, that is really slow,
If you match it with my heart!

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
If Mister Spock, or James T. Kirk,
Should ever get warp drive to work,
And journey to the stars and back again,

[Spoken (as Scotty): “I’m givin’ it all she’s got Cap’n”]
With love in gear, I’d fly right by,
The Enterprise left high and dry,
The speed of love exceeds warp factor ten!

Repeat Chorus twice.
