	Story Behind the Song Paddy and I used to serve in the army together and started writing songs in the early 1970's Over the next few years we wrote many songs together, but then Paddy's marriage broke up and in 1974 he left the army and we lost touch. When I too left the army in 1979 and moved to London, I got the shock of my life one day when I opened the door and found Paddy standing there! He'd now re-married and was working as a salesman in London, so happily reunited we started writing again. One day he arrived with some lyrics saying "I wrote this just after splitting with my ex-wife, it's a bit soppy, but can you do anything with it?" The words leapt out at me as being very personal and very special. Within hours the song "Love is the key" was born. As with many other songs we've co-written, everything just seemed to fall in to place and without any effort at all the music just pored out of me. The song's been recorded many times by my sister Elaine, who put it on several CD's of her country band in Switzerland, but "this version" appears here as a direct result of "Tomi Ruppel's" involvement, for which I'm truly grateful and hope all who hear it appreciate its deep meaning. Lawrence Pendleton. Lyrics LOVE IS THE KEY Written by Pendleton/Whitehill Dry away your tears place your hand in mine Forget about tomorrow All we have is time Dont ever be afraid Just place your trust in me Life is just a door Love is the key Look into my eyes Smile once more for me This was not our making It was ment to be We could never loose The moment we have shared Life is just a door Love is the key We could live forever In our separate ways Only to remember yesterday We have shared a life time In a single day Theres no time for sorrow Love me today (Chorus) Dry away your tears Place your hand in mine Forget about tomorrow All we have is time Dont ever be afraid Just place your trust in me Life is just a door Love is the key Life is just a door Love is the key
