That's What Love Is

Love is in the breathless
space between kisses
It is that spark inside
that for a moment stops your heart
In the tentative touch of the hopeful
that just misses
Love is right around the corner
from where you are
It's that embrace from behind
that takes you by surprise
In that unmistakable
look in your eyes

[Chorus]
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the fireworks
Not in the hot house rose
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the heat of desire
But in the seed hugged
By earth so it will grow
Oh oh oh oh oh
That's where love is.

[Verse]
Love is that catch in your breath
When they walk into a room
The way you just can't
tear your gaze away
Love is a rare desert cactus
Where a flower still blooms
It's in the words
that we did not say

[Chorus]
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the fireworks
Not in the hot house rose
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the heat of desire
But in the seed hugged
By earth so it will grow
Oh oh oh oh oh
That's where love is.

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the fireworks
Not in the hot house rose
Yes that's what love is
That's where you'll find it
Not in the heat of desire
But in the seed hugged
By earth so it will grow
Oh oh oh oh oh
That's where love is.
Oh oh oh oh oh
That's where love is.
