Tom Paxton - You Are Love lyrics

You are the light in children's eyes You are the hope that never dies You are all the best in me And you forgive the rest in me You are courage wrapped in grace You are victory's laughing face You are Noah's returning dove You are love You are the welcome kiss of peace You are the joy of sweet release You are the mischievous at play You are the end of summer's day You are the soul who is my soul You are the half that makes me whole You are Noah's returning dove You are love Once the only word I knew was I, I, I Nothing mattered but myself alone Still a voice within me whispered why? Why? Why? Why must you keep struggling on your own? What an endless hill I tried to climb When you were there to help me all the time You are the garden where I walk You are the quiet while I talk You are the comforting caress You are the end of emptiness You are the joy I longed to know You are the flower in the snow You are Noah's returning dove You are love Once the only word I knew was I, I, I Nothing mattered but myself alone Still a voice within me whispered why? Why? Why? Why must you keep struggling on your own? What an endless hill I tried to climb When you were there to help me all the time You are the garden where I walk You are the quiet while I talk You are the comforting caress You are the end of emptiness You are the joy I longed to know You are the flower in the snow You are Noah's returning dove You are love You are Noah's returning dove You are love
