In this archival video from December of 1980, we see John's first performance of Perhaps Love, which shows the vulnerability that he was experiencing personally and professionally at this time.
"Perhaps Love"
Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

He sings soft and tender here. The song's meaning is carried by his sweet and clear voice. It is beautiful, how songs change and are informed by circumstances in our lives. Something to remember, many thanks and well wishes, Isabel.
