Phoenix Lyrics by Gregory Porter

All Rise (Deluxe)

2020

[Jazz Intro]

[Verse I]
Our love
Rather than worn
Higher than torn
You've grown tired of me

No love grows on its own
Left all alone
It's inspired in me

Love falling from grace
Can rise from the ashes
And fall into place

[Chorus]
Love is just like a phoenix
It can fly
It can glow
And it's based upon the dreams
That we've both been dreaming of

The promises you know
Promise you know

Love is just like a phoenix
Let it sky
Let it glow
This is just the thing
That I've been dreaming of
The promises you know
Promise you know

[Verse II]
In love, we've come so far
Look the stars
Hold onto me
Take my wings
Hold on tight
Cling to my love
Hold onto me

Oh love
Falling from grace
Can rise from the ashes
And fall into place

[Chorus]
Love is just like a phoenix
It can fly
It can glow
And it's based upon the dreams
That we've both been dreaming of

Oh, the promise you know
Promise you know

Love is just like a phoenix
Let it sky
It can grow
This is just the sort of thing
That we've both been hoping for
The promises you know
Promise you know

So let's rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Love is just like a phoenix
It can fly
It can glow
And it's based upon the dreams
That we've both been dreaming of

The promises you know
Promise you know

Love is just like a phoenix
Let it sky
Let it grow
This is just what we've both been dreaming of
All the promises you know
Promise you know

[Outro]
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise

[Jazz Exit]
