lyrics

"Strange (If Love)"
©2022Heisner, BMI
Lyrics: Ricky Heisner / Music: Robby Heisner

Words have long been my undoing
Speak to me and I’m undone
I believe the things you tell me
And come alive beneath your sun

A glimpse of you can make me tremble
I melt beneath your touch like snow
The air between us sings electric
We dance like sparks along the flow

Chorus: If love is never finished
I can only love you more
Strange how hard it breaks the heart it heals
If love is not diminished
Only greater than before
Strange how much it gives the heart it steals
Strange how sad the JOY that love reveals

All this time a sense of wonder
Still you take my breath away
The bottom’s fallen out and left me
Torn between my heart and brain

It’s easy to forget the danger
Caught-up in this atmosphere
Reeling like a drunken sailor
Sober with a Holy fear

Bridge: And I never got to hold you
Or kiss away your tears
I was never even man enough to try
But if love is something stronger
Like a bridge across the years
I will love you till the day I die

Distant as a total stranger
Closer than a friend in need
Faithful as a saint believing
Quick to prove it all in deed

Veiled allusions breed temptation
Even in this sacred place
Passion’s tree is heavy laden
With a fruit I'll never taste
