This is Love
I think I wrote this in 2016 sometime. No idea, really! It started out as a song with a desire for a low voice melody. The truest message in the lyrics is the chorus that repeats twice in the song. There is a quasi-chorus earlier on. Sometimes a song should be much longer because the chorus is so nice to sing. This is one of those. As it happens, this song gave the album its title.
This is Love
G intro
C C
When the Sun runs from the sky
Am Am
And the stars show the way
Dm G
I look for you to tell me why
C G7
You will stay
When the night turns to day
Thoughts of you flood my mind
I look to you and know that you’ll say
You are mine
Am
As big as the World
G C
And all things can be
Dm Dm7
All this is tiny
G G7
Compared to you and me
Verse Instrumental
When we smile or we cry
When we fail or we fly
You say to me, “Don’t ask why.
This is love”
G
I can’t imagine ever
Em C
Having feelings this strong
Dm Dm7
If I had never
G7 C
Seen you come along.
When you feel really small
And you’re scared for your life
Look at me and recall
This is love. G
Chorus
Dm Am G G C
