[Verse 1]
By now you'd think I would be better at explaining
But the words have always been so slow to come
Just 'cause it's this hard to tell you doesn't mean it isn't true
'Cause love is a thing you do

[Chorus]
So I will kiss you in the morning and before you shut your eyes
I will hold you when you laugh and even closer when you cry
And every dream you ever dream, I'll do my best to help come true
'Cause love is a thing you do

[Verse 2]
I wish I was made of poetry and patience
Someone better should be here to write your songs
But I will give you all there is of me, until my days are through
'Cause love is a thing you do

[Chorus]
So I will kiss you in the morning and before you shut your eyes
I will hold you when you laugh and even closer when you cry
And every dream you ever dream, I'll do my best to help come true
'Cause love is a thing you do

[Bridge]
If I could take your worries
And bury them down deep
I'd dig until my back gave out
If that would help you sleep
Even an extra half a second
I would learn to carve the stones
Just to worship at your altar
'Cause you're the only home I've known
[Chorus]
So I will kiss you in the morning and before you shut your eyes
I will hold you when you laugh and even closer when you cry
And every dream you ever dream, I'll do my best to help come true
'Cause love is a thing you do, oh oh oh
Yes, love is a thing you do
