It's the only thing worth life and death
It's the first moment and the final breath
It's a broken heart keeping a solemn vow
And a lost soul being found
You pray for faith when it's hard to believe
You choose to stay when it's easy to leave
And when hope is gone
You're the one who keeps holding on
That's what love is
When you give until there's nothing left
And it makes you give the very best
That's what love is
It can make you laugh and make you cry
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live
That's what love is
It's the dream you give up for someone else
It's being strong when you're weak yourself
Though it tears you up you trust again
Hatred loses and forgiveness wins
You turn your cheek when you want to fight
Sell all you have and lay down your life
And when hope is gone
You're the one who keeps holding on
That's what love is
When you give until there's nothing left
And it makes you give the very best
That's what love is
It can make you laugh and make you cry
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live
That's what love is
It's reaching out and holding on
So someone else will know
Love is in the not letting go
That's what love is
When you give until there's nothing left
And it makes you give the very best
That's what love is
It can make you laugh and make you cry
It can let you down and lift you up so high
When you find the only reason left to live
That's what love is
