Love Is

When you describe the sun
You describe what makes it shine for you
Not in the words you use
But in the way your smiling eyes convey the meaning
When you discuss the stars
You discuss the way you feel for them
Not in the words you use
But in the way you hold your cloak about your body
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value

When you describe the cold
You describe the fire that's warming you
Not in the words you use
But in the way your face reflects the warmth within you
When you discuss the night
You discuss the hours that went before
Not in the words you use
But in the way the rain is falling on your window
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value

When you describe the world
You describe what makes it turn for you
Not in the words you use
But in the way we sing our tuneless songs together
When you discuss your dreams
You discuss what makes them real for you
Not in the words you use
But in the way you know no fear when you awaken
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value
