I hear your melody, it sings
and pulls me to the light
I hear your harmony, it brings
your perfumes to the night
So simple and so comforting
So sweet and yet so bold
So gentle is this offering
and yet so hard to hold
I hear your melody arise
a deep and ancient strain
it leaves me foolish, leaves me wise
with its sweet refrain
(Chorus 1) In your love, in your love there's an angel
In your heart, in your heart there is heaven
When you look with clear eyes you can see this
When you follow your heart you can be this
(Chorus 2) There's an angel that lives in your love,
a heaven that's here in your heart.
Look with clear eyes you will see
Follow your heart you will be
the angel who lives in your love,
in the heaven that's here in your heart.
Look with clear eyes you will see
Follow your heart you will be
Follow your heart you will be in heaven
I hear your poetry in tongues,
your voice in every age
speaking through the old and young,
the novice and the sage
So simple and so comforting
so perfect, yet so kind
so gentle is this offering
it soothes my soul and mind
You're every form, you're every race
Your love's in every creed.
You call me to some blessed place
and speak to every need
and pulls me to the light
I hear your harmony, it brings
your perfumes to the night
So simple and so comforting
So sweet and yet so bold
So gentle is this offering
and yet so hard to hold
I hear your melody arise
a deep and ancient strain
it leaves me foolish, leaves me wise
with its sweet refrain
(Chorus 1) In your love, in your love there's an angel
In your heart, in your heart there is heaven
When you look with clear eyes you can see this
When you follow your heart you can be this
(Chorus 2) There's an angel that lives in your love,
a heaven that's here in your heart.
Look with clear eyes you will see
Follow your heart you will be
the angel who lives in your love,
in the heaven that's here in your heart.
Look with clear eyes you will see
Follow your heart you will be
Follow your heart you will be in heaven
I hear your poetry in tongues,
your voice in every age
speaking through the old and young,
the novice and the sage
So simple and so comforting
so perfect, yet so kind
so gentle is this offering
it soothes my soul and mind
You're every form, you're every race
Your love's in every creed.
You call me to some blessed place
and speak to every need
