Mary Chapin Carpenter - This Is Love Lyrics
If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the nightWhen it seems so black outside that you cant remember lightEver shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetimeAnd the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kindWith a soft, familiar rhythm in these swirling, unsure times when the waves are lapping in and youre not sure you can swimWell heres the lifelineIf you ever need to feel a hand take up your ownWhen you least expect but want it more than youve ever knownBaby heres that hand and baby heres my voice thats calling, this is love, all it ever was and will beThis is loveAnd if you ever need some proof that time can heal your woundsJust step inside my heart and walk around these roomsWhere the shadows used to be, you can feel as well as see how peace con hoverNow times been here to fix whats broken with its powerThe love that smashed us both to bits spent its last few hoursCalling out your name, I thought this is the kind of painFrom which we dont recoverBut Im standing here now with my heart held out to youYou wouldve thought a miracle was all that got us throughWell baby all I know, all I know is Im still standingAnd this is love all it ever was and will beThis is loveAnd I see you still and theres this catch in my throat andI just swallow hard till it leaves meTheres nothing in this world that can change what we knowStill I know I am here if you ever need meAnd this is loveAnd if you ever think of me let it be around twilightWhen the world has settled down and the last round of sunlightIs waning in the sky, as you sit and watch the night descendingA car will pass out front with lovers at the wheelA dog will bark out back and childrens voices pealOver and under the air, youve been there lost in the rememberingAnd if you ever wish for things that are only in the pastJust remember that the wrong things arent supposed to lastBabe its over and done and the rest is gonna come when you let itAnd this is love, all that it ever was and will beThis is love, when you let it, if you let it nowThis is love, all it ever was and can beThis is love
