Call It Love
Blackmore's Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm standing here, watching the waves break on the sand
Holding your hand and wondering if there was a time'
When I felt more comfortable
I could conquer the world with you by my side

We've gone down so many lonely roads
Searched for what we know was right around the corner.
And I knew from the time I saw your face
From our first embrace that you were the one

We could call it luck, we could call it fate
We could call it heart's desire
We could call it a dream even though we're wide awake
Let's just call it love

I feel like I've known you my whole life
Every day and night was made just for us
I don't know what I ever did before
You walked through my door and changed my whole life

We could call it luck, we could call it fate
We could call it heart's desire
We could call it a dream even though we're wide awake
Let's just call it love





Let's just call it love, I'd like to call it love
Let's just call it love, I'd like to call it love
