Introduction
Don Williams, often referred to as the “Gentle Giant” of country music, had a unique talent for crafting songs that wrapped around your soul like a comforting blanket. “We Got Love” is a perfect example of this gift. With its soothing melody, heartfelt lyrics, and Don’s tender voice, the song feels less like a performance and more like an intimate conversation about the power of true love.
The beauty of “We Got Love” lies in its simplicity. It’s not trying to be overly complex or flashy. Instead, it’s grounded in the idea that love, in its purest form, is all we really need. This song speaks to the kind of love that goes beyond fleeting emotions and surface-level attraction—it’s about a deeper connection that stands strong in the face of life’s ups and downs.
When Don sings, “We may not have all the things that money can buy, but we’ve got love,” it’s as if he’s reminding us that true wealth isn’t found in material possessions, but in the relationships we build and nurture. His delivery is calm, genuine, and imbued with a wisdom that only someone who truly understands love can convey.
A Song That Resonates Beyond Its Time
What makes “We Got Love” timeless is how relatable its message is. In a world that often glorifies the pursuit of status and wealth, this song brings us back to what really matters: having someone who’s there for you, through thick and thin. It’s the kind of song you’d play while sitting on the porch with someone special, soaking in a sunset and appreciating the simple moments that make life beautiful.
Musically, the song reflects Don Williams’ signature style—gentle guitar strums, soft percussion, and that distinctive baritone that feels like a friend sharing words of comfort. There’s no rush in his singing; every word is delivered with care, allowing the message to settle deeply into your heart.
Why “We Got Love” Stays with You
There’s an understated power in the lyrics that makes “We Got Love” linger long after the music fades. It’s not just a song about love—it’s a reminder to cherish what we have, to hold tight to the people who matter, and to recognize that, sometimes, the simplest things are the most profound. Don Williams had a way of making the listener feel seen and understood, and this song captures that magic effortlessly.
So, whether you’re listening alone or sharing the moment with a loved one, “We Got Love” has a way of making you feel like everything’s going to be just fine—as long as you’ve got each other.

Lyrics
You, You got me
We got somethin’ everybody else can see
Me, I got you
We got a good thing honey you know we do
Friends, they all know
’cause we can’t help but let it show
Smiles, we can’t hide
We got somethin’ just too good to hold inside
[CHORUS]
We don’t need no money, honey you and I
What we’ve got together, money just can’t buy
What we’ve got, there’s plenty of
I’ve got you, you’ve got me, we got love.
[Instrumental]
Time, Moves along
And honey we just keep on a keepin’ on
’cause love, makes us strong
As long as we’ve got love, We can’t go wrong
[CHORUS]
