Lyrics

If I give my love again to you

Will it be the same love that we once thought was true?

Will it be the same love?

Will we feel the same love?

Will it be the same love that you once made to me?

The love you made to me, the love you made to me

The love you made to me

The love you made to me, the love you made to me

The love you made to me

If it's nothing like the first time, we'll enjoy it right or wrong

Why keep referring to the worst time, when you've waited for so long?

You waited for so long

Though it may not be as good as new

Well, still, it must be better than the pain that I went through

Will it be the same love?

Will it feel the same, love?

Will it be the same love that you once made to me?

The love you made to me, the love you made to me

The love you made to me

The love you made to me, the love you made to me

The love you made to me

I've listened to "Same Love" many times and reviewing who plays on it above, there are certainly many, many more instruments than listed.

Indeed. Plus, given that it was recorded early on in sessions for the "Flowers in the dirt" album, Robbie McIntosh would have to on guitar, with Wix Wickens on additional keys and Christ Whitten on drums.
