Love
Love,
hits you when you least expect it.
Love,
knows no rhyme or reason.
You think that you will never know
the one for you,
the one who makes
your dreams come true.
You live contented,
accepting what your hand is dealt.

Then suddenly you realize,
it's right before your very eyes.
One heart that beats in tune with yours.
One soul that fills the emptiness 
inside you.

Love,
gives no warning when it comes.
Love,
it takes you unawares.
You settle into life's routine
no time to think,
no time to dream
what love could be
Expecting nothing,
believing that your path moves on ahead.

Then suddenly you realize,
it's right before your very eyes.
One heart that beats in tune with yours.
One soul that fills the emptiness 
inside you.

Love,
takes hold of you and won't let go.
Love, 
it turns your world around.
The sun burns brighter in the sky.
The moon and stars 
high up above,
have never shone so clear.
Your eyes are opened,
you see the world anew.
Tho' nothing changes, nothing stays the same.

For suddenly you've realized,
it's right before your very eyes.
One heart that beats in tune with yours.
One soul that fills the emptiness 
inside you.
