Lyrics

The pounding of a pulse,
and the last stolen breath before a first kiss.
The rhythm of the band,
beating to the first dance from the wedding hall.
The words, "I love you,"
whispered from the black of early morning.
Can you hear it? Oh, can you hear the sound?

The sound of love.
Can you hear it rise above
everything else going on?
Oh, can you hear the song
of the sound of love?

The newborn as she cries,
and the first breath of life in her mother's arms.
Footsteps in the dark,
and the midnight song again as she rocks her back to sleep.
And the laughter of little children
wrestling their father to the ground.
Oh, can you hear the sound?

The sound of love.
Can you hear it rise above
everything else going on?
Oh, can you hear the song of the sound of love?
In the moments when nothing else matters,
there's nothing in this world more beautiful.

And, oh, the broken words,
fading too fast through a last goodbye.
Yes, even the ones that hurt,
like the hollow tap of tears against your pillow
that fall in memory of what once was
and what you pray again will be.
Can you hear it? Oh, can you hear the sound?
The sound of love.
Can you hear it rise above everything else going on?
Oh, can you hear the song of the sound of love?
The sound of love, the sound of love.
There's nothing in this world more beautiful.
