| If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the night
|
| When it seems so black outside that you can’t remember light
|
| Ever shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetime
|
| And the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kind
|
| With a soft familiar rhythm in these swirling unsure times
|
| When the waves are lapping in and you’re not sure you can swim
|
| Well, here’s the lifeline
|
| If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own
|
| When you least expect but want it more than you’ve ever known
|
| Baby here’s that hand and baby here’s my voice that’s calling
|
| This is love
|
| All it ever was and will be
|
| This is love
|
| If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds
|
| Just step inside my heart and walk around these rooms
|
| Where the shadows used to be
|
| You can feel as well as see how peace can hover
|
| Now time’s been here to fix what’s broken with its power
|
| The love that smashed us both to bits, spent its last few hours
|
| Calling out your name, I thought this is the kind of pain
|
| From which we don’t recover
|
| But I’m standing here now with my heart held out to you
|
| You would’ve thought a miracle was all that got us through
|
| Well baby, all I know, all I know is I’m still standing
|
| This is love
|
| All it ever was and will be
|
| This is love
|
| Standing up for you, baby
|
| Standing up for me
|
| And I see you still and there’s this catch in my throat
|
| And I just swallow hard till it leaves me
|
| There’s nothing in this world that can change what we know
|
| Still I know I am here if you ever need me
|
| And this is love
|
| And if you ever think of me let it be around twilight
|
| When the world has settled down
|
| And the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky
|
| As you sit and watch the night descending
|
| A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel
|
| A dog will bark out back
|
| And children’s voices peal over and under the air
|
| You’ve been there lost in the remembering
|
| If you ever wish for things that are only in the past
|
| Just remember that the wrong things aren’t supposed to last
|
| Babe, it’s over and done
|
| And the rest is gonna come
|
| When you let it
|
| And this is love
|
| All that ever was and will be
|
| This is love
|
| When you let it, baby
|
| If you let it now
|
| This is love
|
| All that ever was and can be
|
| This is love |
