This is a cover of “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News, written for and featured in the 1985 blockbuster film Back to the Future. As such, it begins with an a cappella rendition of the (lyricless) theme from Back to the Future before segueing into the main song.
[A cappella Back to the Future theme]
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling
That's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Oh, but you don't care
But you'll know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You'll feel the power of love
[Instrumental Break]
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
Feel the power, that's the power of love
That's the power, you'll feel the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
That's the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
And it might just save your life
That's the power of love
The Power of Love was written by Chris Hayes & Johnny Colla & Huey Lewis.
