Love Chooses You - Kathy Mattea

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 looses 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 pouring 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
