Michael Franti and Spearhead: "I Got Love for You"


Another morning has come and the sun is high
But I know that today is the day that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

I remember the time back when we was home
In and out up and down in this life what a crazy road
It’s been a long time that I shoulda said what I tell now
That I got faith in you
And I believe in you

In the dark of the night in the hotel when you’re alone
In the middle of the city where nobody cares to know
On the top of the town in the glimmer of the shining lights
You just shine on now
You just shine on now

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

And I’ve got love for you - love for you - love for you

And I know that you can’t say for sure when you’re coming home
But I got faith in you
And I believe in you

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

Another evening’s come and the moon is high
But I know that tonight is the night that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

need a track to put on the
bon voyage mix? the i will miss
you mix? the i'm always there for
you mix? well here it is.

i'm putting this one on my
"bon voyage bestie" mix cd
for my friend who IS on her way,
currently frolicking through the
first 24 hours of her solo
euro adventure.

while i did cry,
a lot, at the airport
when i was saying goodbye,
i am so very happy for her
and hope she knows that there
are many, many people who have
TONS of lurve for her at home
and we are all always here for her.

  1. I love you so much!!! I am crying again now. I could not have asked for more in life than to have such amazing friends that show such undying love. This is a beautiful song and as Jq already said, it has so many applications. Michael Franti seems to have a way of making his lyrics universally significant and for that I love listening to him!
