I’ve often wondered how love would strike me dead
C G C D G
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
C G C D G
No words were spoken, but I felt it in my heart

It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon
C G Em C D G
But I could hear it loud as laughter ’cross a crowded room
C G D Em
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
