A Quiet Kind of Love
Richard Chamberlain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A quiet kind of love is what you give to me.
No thunder from the mountain, and no storm at sea.
No lightning from the sky, no surging oceans roar.
A quiet kind of love I′ve never known before.

But higher than the sky it is,
And deeper than the sea.
And taller than the mountain is
That stands eternally.





A happy kind of life my life is going to be
Because you've brought this quiet kind of love to me.
