Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 lifelinе If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own Whеn you least expect but want it more than you've ever known Well, baby, here's that hand Baby, here's my voice that's calling [Chorus] This is love All it ever was and will be This is love [Verse 2] 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 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 [Chorus] This is love All it ever was and will be This is love Standing up for you And It's standing up for me [Bridge] And I see you still and there's this catch in my throat And I swallow hard 'til 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 [Chorus] This is love [Verse 3] 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 It's over and done The rest is gonna come When you let it [Chorus] This is love All it 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
