Softer Than A Whisper Lyrics

I've often wondered how love would strike me yet Would it hit me like thunder, that's what I'd expect But when I held you, I knew it was different from the start No words were spoken, but I felt it in my heart It was softer than a whisper Quiet as the moon But I could hear it loud as laughter Across a crowded room It was gentle as a baby's hand But it held me like a chain It was softer than a whisper When love called out my name Last night you lay sleepin' when I thought I heard a sound I got up and slowly, took a look around Well I found no answer-- No sound I could explain It must have been your heart, dear, callin' out my name It was softer than a whisper Quiet as the moon But I could hear it loud as laughter Across a crowded room It was gentle as a baby's hand But it held me like a chain It was softer than a whisper When love called out my name Yes, it was softer than a whisper When love called out my name
