Hushhhh.... can you hear the sound of love
As soft as April rain
And carried on a gentle breeze
Ah, such a sweet refrain
Then listen for its tender voice
Yet whisp`ring soft and warm
As in a mother`s lullaby
Sung to her child new-born
And hear it in the raindrops, as
They tumble to the earth
So kissing field and pasture thus
To propagate new birth
Then hear it in the falling snow
Soft floating to the ground
As in the rustle of the trees
Ah yes, the sweetest sound
And hear it in a violin
So smooth and finely strung
As list`ning to a songbird sweet
Whilst tending to her young
Then hear it in a symphony
In music so sublime
To lift you to the highest peaks
Of ecstasy divine
And hear it in the silence fixed
Between the tender sighs
Of two whose hearts are woven close
(And see it in their eyes)
Hushhh....listen in the darkest hour
Before the dawn breaks through
For this is when you`ll hear it clear
Soft whisp`ring 'I love you'
