Loretta Lynn performs "Let Your Love Flow" live on That Nashville Music.

"Let Your Love Flow" is a pop song written by Larry E. Williams which was recorded in the autumn of 1975 by country music duo the Bellamy Brothers for whom it afforded an international hit in 1976.

The song's composer Larry E. Williams had been a roadie for Neil Diamond's live shows and "Let Your Love Flow" had been published by Bicycle Music who owned Diamond's own catalog having been founded by the singer - on Diamond's apparent disinterest in recording the song himself Howard Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers has commented "it really wasn't in his [ie. Diamond's] vein" - and according to Howard, Johnny Rivers had also passed on "Let Your Love Flow". The song as recorded by Gene Cotton was a single release in the autumn of 1975 making Cotton's version - featured on his 1976 album release For All the Young Writers - the earliest released version of "Let Your Love Flow" although it is unclear if Cotton's recording of song was made prior to that by the Bellamy Brothers.

Loretta Lynn Let Your Love Flow Lyrics

There's a reason for the sunshine sky there's a reason why I'm feeling so high

Must be the season when that love light shines all around us

So let that feeling grab you deep inside and send you reeling

Where your love can't hide and then go stealing

Through the moonless nights with your lover

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you'll know what I mean it's the season

Yeah let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean that's the reason

There's a reason for the warm sweet nights and there's a reason for the candle lights

Must be the season when those love rites shine all around us

So let the wonder take you into space and lay you under its loving embrace

Let feel the thunder as it warms your face you can't hold back

Just let your love flow...

Just let your love flow...
