Love Chooses You Lyrics - 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 loses 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 pourin' 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
