1981年，多明哥找來好友約翰 · 丹佛一同合作專輯《也許就是愛》（Perhaps Love），演唱多首電影、音樂劇的主題曲，其中也包括了約翰丹佛的暢銷曲《安妮之歌》（Annie’s Song）。不過，多明哥不甘於隻唱些經典歌曲，慧眼挑中了丹佛尚未發表的歌《也許就是愛》。
丹佛早在七十年代便已《鄉村路帶我回家》（Take Me Home, Country Roads）名滿天下，但他進入八十年代，聲勢卻已江河日下。他寫這首曲子時，與發妻安妮正麵臨婚姻低潮，令他處在生命中的低潮。在他開車前往美國加州的途中，他沿著海岸線，在藍天白雲下突然靈感來臨，便產生了這首描寫愛的真諦的歌，也成為他音樂生涯後期中最膾炙人口的代表作。
這首歌從一開始丹佛的吉他彈弦開始，多明哥低沉渾厚的嗓音唱出「 愛就像避難所給你溫暖，在你最孤單的時刻，帶你回家。」接著丹佛清亮的高音唱出「 愛就像一扇窗戶，幫助你敞開自我；就算迷失了自己，但愛會帶領你前進。」兩人的合聲搭配的天衣無縫。
這首歌當年一推出後，雖隻拿下美國告示牌單曲榜第五十九名，卻無損於歌迷對此曲的喜愛，並在口碑推波助瀾下，至今銷售早已突破百萬張。
歌詞如下：
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
