Secrets of lovers

Whisper tonight

Broken down angel

Got lost in the cold daylight

The city is screaming

And I look for your eyes

Someone to lean on through the night

Your music talks to me and hits me tonight

One candle burning, I hear your voice say

So let there be love

Let there be love

Love

Let there be love

It heals and it hurts

She leads you to heaven's door

And leaves you for dirt

Someone to lean on, that's your own

Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul,

She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing

Love will conquer anything

So let it be love

Let it be love

Love

Let it be love

The wall's down

They're coming down

I can't slow

I know it now

So stay now

Hold on

And I'm praying

So let it be love

Let it be love

Love

Let it be love

I know what I want

I know what I feel

I know what I want

So let there be love

So let there be love

Let there be love.
