Verse:

Does the dew make a sound when it falls?
Who hears the blossoming of a flower
Or wakes at the thunder of snowflakes?
Where clocks are not,
What ear can hear
The passing of the hour?

Chorus:

Listen to the sound of my love,
The beating of my waiting heart.
Listen to the sound of my love,
Waiting for the magic to start.
Waiting for the sound of another heart
Beating with mine;
Longing for the song of another love
Longing for mine.
Listen to the call of my love,
Sounding in the soundless night;
Echoing the all of my love,
Echoing a boundless delight.
Listen to the cry of all the hearts that break,
And all the loves that die.
And promise me that my heart will never wake,
Singing its song alone,
Bringing its sound alone;
Into the night,
Into the lonely night,
Listen to the sound of my love.
