A Quiet Kind of Love

The morning light paints golden lines Across the pillow where your head reclines I watch you breathe, so soft, so deep A quiet promise that my heart will keep The world outside is rushing by But here in this room, the hours fly Like gentle feathers on the breeze You bring my restless mind to ease. No need for words, the silence speaks A gentle flush upon your cheeks In this small space, the shadows fade I’m resting in the peace you made. Oh, this is a love that doesn’t shout It’s the quiet whisper when the lights go out It’s the gentle way you look at me And make me feel like I am finally free A tender touch, a sacred space I find my heaven in your embrace The purest feeling I’ve ever known With you, my heart has found its home. You trace the shadows on my skin And see the broken places deep within But you don’t run, you pull me near And kiss away every hidden fear It’s not a fire that burns and dies It’s the steady starlight in your eyes A slow and steady, warming glow The sweetest thing I’ll ever know. No need for words, the silence speaks A gentle flush upon your cheeks In this small space, the shadows fade I’m resting in the peace you made. Oh, this is a love that doesn’t shout It’s the quiet whisper when the lights go out It’s the gentle way you look at me And make me feel like I am finally free A tender touch, a sacred space I find my heaven in your embrace The purest feeling I’ve ever known With you, my heart has found its home. Let the seasons change and the years roll by Let the heavy storms rage across the sky This fragile, beautiful, quiet thing Is the sweetest song my soul could sing I’m anchored here, I’m safe, I’m whole You are the keeper of my soul. Oh, this is a love that doesn’t shout... It’s the quiet whisper when the lights go out... *(Music builds up gently, full and warm)* It’s the gentle way you look at me And make me feel like I am finally free! A tender touch, a sacred space I find my heaven in your embrace The purest feeling I’ve ever known With you, my heart has found its home. So close your eyes, my darling, sleep This is a love I’ll always keep So soft... So deep... Just you and me... The tenderest love... *(Whispered)* You are my home. *(Fade out on a single, lingering, warm piano chord)*
