Love Chooses You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love comes unbidden can't be forbidden
It takes you and shakes you right down to your shoes
It knows heartache and trial but accepts no denial
You can't choose who you love love chooses you
In the wink of an eye love looses an arrow
We control it no more than the flight of the sparrow
The swell of the tide or the light of the moon
You can't choose who you love love chooses you
Tell me now if I'm wrong are you feeling the same
Are your feet on the ground are you calling my name
Do you lie awake nights please say you do
Cause you can't choose who you love love chooses you
[ ac.guitar ]
Love cuts like a torch to a heart behind steel
And though you may hide it love knows how you feel
And though you may trespass on the laws of the land
Your heart has to follow when love takes your hand
And it seems we're two people within the same circle
It's drawn tighter and tighter till you're all that I see
I'm full and I'm empty and you're pouring through me
Like a warm rain falling through the leaves on a tree
Tell me now if I'm wrong...
No you can't choose who you love love chooses you
