“My Love” by Westlife is a track from the album “My Love”. It runs for about 3:54, opening with the line “An empty street an empty house” and building from there into the hook that most people remember.
The song starts with “An empty street an empty house”, and that line already sets the emotional tone for the whole track. As it unfolds, lines like “A hole inside my heart” show how the feeling builds, and the chorus — anchored by “Oh my love” — is easy to pick up after a single listen. It is a heartfelt track from Westlife that combines a strong melody with straightforward lyrics that stay with you.
An empty street an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I’m all alone the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had the songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And oh my love
I’m holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find a place I love the most
Where the fields are green
I try to read I go to work
I’m laughing with my friends
But I can’t stop to keep myself from thinking oh no
To see you once again
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You’re all I’m thinking of
I’m reaching for the love that seem so far
So
My love
Say a little prayer
My sweet love
Dreams will take me there
Oh my love
Looked at closely, “My Love” is about the feeling captured in its very first words: “An empty street an empty house”. The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “Where the fields are green” — until the final line “Oh my love” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.
“My Love” is a well-crafted track that gets its strength from simplicity: a clear melody, a repeating hook, and lyrics that never overreach. It fits Westlife’s style well and works in almost any playlist.
The charm of “My Love” is how quickly it grows on you. The hook, built around “Oh my love”, stays in your head long after the song ends, and the lyrics are easy to sing along to. It is an easy recommendation for fans of Westlife and for anyone who enjoys heartfelt, easy-listening music.
