They Call It Love

If you can speak without a word
Or make a breath stand still
Hear the things that go unheard
Not touching, but always feel

Give a smile without trying
That calms the deepest fears
Be the joy that stops the crying
And wipes away the tears

Be the sun that brightens the night
And turns it into day
Change the darkness into light
And chase the doubt away

Make two heartbeats beat the same
For the one you're thinking of
All these feelings have a name
I think they call it love
