"What is love and where to find it?"
A little girl asked me one day.
"Does it live high in the mountains?
Is it hidden deep in a lake?
Can it hover over the clouds
Playing hide-and-go-seek with the sun,
Where in the world can it be found?
Does it hide behind the stars?
I was at a loss what to say
Looking at her for a while,
I did not know how to explain
The secret of love and life.
The rain gives way to the sunshine,
Winter is followed by spring -
These are the rules you can't deny
But love can change all those things.
It strikes with the speed of lightning
Leaving you in floods of tears,
It suddenly sweeps you off your feet
Making all rules disappear.
It turns the rain to a rainbow,
It converts snowflakes to stars,
Taking away all your sorrows,
It makes you shine like the sun.
It can fly across the distance
Without any need for wings,
It brings light to your existence
Warming you like a sunbeam.
It is deeper than any sea,
It is brighter than a star,
Invading your innermost dreams,
It finds a home in your heart."
