Lyrics Love Chooses You - Kathy Mattea

Love Chooses You

Love comes unbidden, can’t be forbidden
It takes you and shakes you right down to your shoes
It knows heartache and trial but accepts no denial
You can’t choose who you love, love chooses you
In the wink of an eye love looses an arrow
We control it no more than the flight of the sparrow
The swell of the tide or the light of the moon
You can’t choose who you love, love chooses you
Tell me now if I’m wrong
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can’t choose who you love
Love chooses you
Love cuts like a torch to a heart behind steel
And though you may hide it, love knows how you feel
And though you may trespass on the laws of the land
Your heart has to follow when love takes your hand
And it seems we’re two people within the same circle
It’s drawn tighter and tighter till you’re all that I see
I’m full and I’m empty and you’re pouring through me
Like a warm rain fallin' through the leaves on a tree
Tell me now if I’m wrong
Are you feelin' the same
Are your feet on the ground
Are you callin' my name
Do you lie awake nights
Please say you do
'Cause you can’t choose who you love
Love chooses you
No you can’t choose who you love
Love chooses you
