Call It Love
Crystal Bernard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stole my heart away
From clear across the room
Somehow it was plain you felt the same
Looking back now we can't say
Exactly how we knew
All a wise man needs
Is one glimpse of destiny
There's an ancient fire deep in every heart
That no one but the perfect match can start
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love
Until that night love at first sight was
Just a childish fantasy
Like wishing on a star
And if you ask me now, don't ask me how
All I can say is I believe
The proof is in my heart
Nature's strongest force
Will always take it's course
There's an ancient fire deep in every heart
That no one but the perfect match can start
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
When fate lights forever up
Call it magic, call it love

Love is referred to as magic, something that cannot be explained logically or scientifically, but still has the power to change lives forever.
Line by Line Meaning
You caught my eye without trying
You captured my attention effortlessly
You stole my heart away
You won my affection completely
From clear across the room
Even from a distance
Somehow it was plain you felt the same
It was evident that the feelings were mutual
Looking back now we can't say
It's hard to describe how it happened in retrospect
Exactly how we knew
How we knew we were meant to be together
All a wise man needs
The only thing required for knowledge of true love
Is one glimpse of destiny
Is a glimpse of their future together
Until that night love at first sight was
Prior to this, the idea of love at first sight was
Just a childish fantasy
Considered only a naive and unrealistic notion
Like wishing on a star
A childish dream, like making a wish upon an impossible star
And if you ask me now, don't ask me how
If asked in hindsight
All I can say is I believe
The only thing she knows for certain is that she believed in destiny
The proof is in my heart
She now knows through her feelings and experience the truth of love
Nature's strongest force
The most powerful force in the natural world
Will always take it's course
Will never be denied its path
There's an ancient fire deep in every heart
Every living creature possesses a primitive longing for love
That no one but the perfect match can start
Only the perfect match can ignite the passion
Like a bolt of lightning flashing in the dark
Love strikes suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere
When fate lights forever up
When the universe seems to align in favor of true love
Call it magic, call it love
The inexplicable and undeniable connection between two people
