Lyrics Kathy Mattea

Kathy Mattea

Love Chooses You

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 loses 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 feelin' the same?

Are your feet on the ground?

Are you callin' my name?

Do you lie awake nights?

Please say you do

'Cause you can't choose who you love

Love chooses you

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 pourin' through me

Like a warm rain fallin'

Through the leaves on a tree

Tell me now if I'm wrong

Are you feelin' the same?

Are your feet on the ground?

Are you callin' my name?

Do you lie awake nights?

Please say you do

'Cause you can't choose who you love

Love chooses you

No, you can't choose who you love

Love chooses you
