(inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
Love, how did I find you?
Was I even breathing before I knew your name?
Who could ever have planned this?
Arranged the whole planet to all turn out this way?
Hey, only heaven knows
The dreams behind these things I'm asking
Yeah, even our angels look surprised
To bump their wings in passing
I love you
How can I say
I love you
Let the words escape
Let the words escape
Love, you snuck up behind me
I thought I was hiding, but oh, how I fell for you
My heart beats double inside me
As I learn to love and say my prayers for two
Hey, only heaven saw
The tears I cried on the day I met you
Now if the whole world goes wrong
I'll don a cape and fly to your rescue
I love you
How can I say
I love you
Let the words escape
Let the words escape
