I?ve often wondered how love would strike me dead
Would it hit me like thunder that?s what I?d expect
But when I held you, I knew it was different from the start
No words were spoken, but I felt it in my heart
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon
But I could hear it loud as laughter ?cross a crowded room
It was gentle as a baby?s hand, but it held me like a chain
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name

Verse
Last night you lay sleepin? when I thought I heard a sound
I got up and slowly took a look around
Well I found no answer no sound I could explain
It must have been your heart dear; calling out my name
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon
But I could hear it loud as laughter ?cross a crowded room
It was gentle as a baby?s hand, but it held me like a chain
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name
