Quiet Collection of Ordinary Evidence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] For years I searched to understand What love could truly mean, I held it out with open hands In all the quiet in between. Then a message crossed my screen one day, A gentle spark, a brand new way. [Chorus] Oh, love was never meant to shout, It lives in what we're sure about — In little things, in tender care, In knowing someone's always there. This peace, this healing, soft and true, I found it all, my love, in you. [Verse 2] Brown hair, brown eyes, that playful smile, You make the heavy feeling light. Our first slow walks, that first sweet mile, "I love you" whispered New Year's night. You think of me before I ask, You soften every weary task. [Chorus] Oh, love was never meant to shout, It lives in what we're sure about — In little things, in tender care, In knowing someone's always there. This peace, this healing, soft and true, I found it all, my Kathy, in you. [Bridge] Sweetheart, you make me safe and whole, You noticed all the tired parts of my soul. No need to prove, no need to run — Kathy, honey, you're the one. [Verse 3] So here's my heart, no fine print lines, "You're mine, no refunds," all my days. A quiet collection of small signs That says I love you in a thousand ways. I made you room, I trust you here, Come walk beside me, year to year. [Chorus] Oh, love was never meant to shout, It lives in what we're sure about — In little things, in tender care, In knowing someone's always there. This peace, this healing, soft and true, Forever, Kathy, I choose you. [Outro] So take my hand, my love, my friend, This gentle song without an end.
