[Verse 1]
My dear
If I may be so bold
To say you brighten every breath I hold
You take the chill from English rain
Turn afternoon to spring again
[Chorus]
Love is the power
My dear
That keeps the whole world turning
With just one touch
You draw me near
Set every quiet heart to burning
If I might say it
Crystal clear
Love is the power
My dear
[Verse 2]
You pour the tea
I lose my poise
Such gracious hands
Such gentle poise
You softly speak
I almost bow
For heaven seems to share this house
[Chorus]
Love is the power
My dear
That keeps the whole world turning
With just one touch
You draw me near
Set every quiet heart to burning
If I might say it
Crystal clear
Love is the power
My dear
[Bridge]
Permit me this
One small remark
I’d walk you home through every dark
And if the stars should ever tire
Your name alone would still inspire (ohh)
[Chorus]
Love is the power
My dear
That keeps the whole world turning
With just one touch
You draw me near
Set every quiet heart to burning
If I might say it
Crystal clear
Love is the power
My dear
Yes
If I may be perfectly clear
Love is the power
My dear
