1981年，多明哥找来好友约翰 · 丹佛一同合作专辑《也许就是爱》（Perhaps Love），演唱多首电影、音乐剧的主题曲，其中也包括了约翰丹佛的畅销曲《安妮之歌》（Annie’s Song）。不过，多明哥不甘于只唱些经典歌曲，慧眼挑中了丹佛尚未发表的歌《也许就是爱》。
丹佛早在七十年代便已《乡村路带我回家》（Take Me Home, Country Roads）名满天下，但他进入八十年代，声势却已江河日下。他写这首曲子时，与发妻安妮正面临婚姻低潮，令他处在生命中的低潮。在他开车前往美国加州的途中，他沿着海岸线，在蓝天白云下突然灵感来临，便产生了这首描写爱的真谛的歌，也成为他音乐生涯后期中最脍炙人口的代表作。
这首歌从一开始丹佛的吉他弹弦开始，多明哥低沉浑厚的嗓音唱出「 爱就像避难所给你温暖，在你最孤单的时刻，带你回家。」接着丹佛清亮的高音唱出「 爱就像一扇窗户，帮助你敞开自我；就算迷失了自己，但爱会带领你前进。」两人的合声搭配的天衣无缝。
这首歌当年一推出后，虽只拿下美国告示牌单曲榜第五十九名，却无损于歌迷对此曲的喜爱，并在口碑推波助澜下，至今销售早已突破百万张。
歌词如下：
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
