Classic Rock/Trying to find a song, but I only remember a very small part of the lyrics

Question
Heard a song on the radio this morning that I hadn't heard in quite some time, I think it's from the 70's or possibly early 80's.
The chorus is something like "Love is life" or "Love this life", followed by I few words I couldn't understand.  The song has a fairly slow pace.  The part that stands out in my memory is the synthed/distorted vocals, which seem to be magnified on the 'i' in 'life'--it kind of reminds me of a synthesized flute.
I know it's not much to go on, but maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Answer
    This may not be the right answer, but I came to mind immediately.
Garry Wright did a song called "Love is Alive"  that is  more of a synth song than a rock song,  so it could have sounded more 80s than rock.
 The voice isn't really synthesized in it,  but the way it sounds in the mix is kind of strange.  
   If that isn't the song, let me know and I will do some research and see if I can remember it.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
