Carpenter, Mary Chapin - This Is Love Lyrics
If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the night
When it seems so black outside that you can't remember
Light ever shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetime
And the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kind, with a soft
And you're not sure you can swim, well here's the lifeline
If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own
When you least expect but want it more than you've ever known
Baby, here's that hand, and baby's here's my voice that's calling
This is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love
If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds, just step
You can feel as well as see how peace can hover
Time's been here to fix what's broken with its power and the love that
Smashed us both to bits spent its last few hours calling out your name,
And I thought, this is the kind of pain from which we don't recover
But I'm standing here now with my heart held out to you
You would have thought a miracle was all that got us through
Well baby, all I know, all I know is I'm still standing
And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, standing up for you baby, standing up for me
And I see you still and there's this catch in my throat;
And I just swallow hard till it leaves me
There's nothing in this world that can change what we know
Still I know I am here if you ever need me
And this is love
If you ever think of me, let it be around twilight, when the world has
Settled down, and the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky as you
Sit and watch the night descending
A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel, a dog will bark out
Back, and children's voices peal over and under the air, you've been there,
Lost in the remembering
If you ever wish for things that are only in the past
Just remember that the wrong things aren't supposed to last
Baby, it's over and done, the rest is gonna come when you let it
And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, when you let it baby, if you let it now
This is love, all that ever was and can be
This is love

One of the best songs in history
very few people will understand this song or hear the message. don't just hear it listen to it..
Thank you Mary******
Soul sister, mine 💖.
Same artist. Great lyrics
Just discovered this song. Really beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Please listen to " Our love will endure the writers". Thank you.
While most are losing it or looking for what they once had , Mary is just getting better with age , and shes the same age as me....
This is well, very well said Ken... Hats off to ya buddy!!!
Well, I love MCC! Her songs capture the pathos of the human heart. Can't understand why I can't express it as she does - just an incredible gift! Often our past is strewn with the wreckage of wrong choices, and regret can easily overwhelm the soul. But, in my case God's love is always there, and gives me the courage to move on and grow through the pain. The lyrics of this song are so powerful. Just have to keep listening! God bless you Mary!
This song was one of the first songs I heard from MCC, it is amazing and it takes me back to a place that I have always found to hard to go to, but this song helps me. It makes me smile, for the memories and the chance I had to make those memories.
One of my favorites.
Yes, it is, darlin', and songs like this make me want to wrap you up and take you home. Can't, of course, but this is Chapin at her best, and why I love her. The new CD is excellent!
Love this song!! From the album "Stones In The Road" released 1994. She's as beautiful & as awesome as her songs are! You rock Chapin!!! Love you!! <3 :)
I've taken so much life advice from Mary's songs. She is as wise and beautiful as her songs are.
A brilliant writer who see's the world and all that it entails both good and bad, and lost and found. Who loves deep and expects others to feel that through the music she composes. I only that through what I have grasped by listening to her music. Over and over, I always find what I am looking for.
Wow, thanks Mary
Ann Marie hendrickson in Norwich New York I hope everybody enjoy the musics on the facebook.
I dont think MCC writes any bad songs.They all so poignant and original.Lets hope she always has the creativity and artistic license to write what she feels and forget about commercial sales.We dont need anymore country pretty boys and girls
Mary is quite possibly the most talented song writer/singer in this generation. Her lyrics are honest and heart felt and always grab you by the throat and won't let go. She is a shining example of the word being more powerful that the sword.
@KingKrunkmungas Both she and John are such great poets.
Her voice really reminds me of John Denver. Especially this song!
I hope that once in awhile he things me at twilight...and knows this is love.
just excellent, from a brilliantly talented songwriter and singer
This is the best song - been loving this song for over 10 years....so glad its finally posted
She is all that is good in the world, a true piece of Americana at its finest. The song simply goes places in my mind where no one can go with its amazing lyrics and haunting instruments. Her music is truly a definition of love... all that it ever was and could be.. Thank you MCC.. I am honored to have found you.
I love this song! I cried the first time I heard it!
