This is Love |
| 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 |
