A Love Like This

Dan Fogelberg · Portrait: Music Of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 [1997]

And now the lonely days are done

And with each rising of the sun, love begins anew

And if you ever ask me why

I know that my love will never die I'll say these words to you



Of all the souls I've ever known

Mine sings to yours and yours alone and yours sings just to me

In all this world I'll never find

A heart that could beat as close to mine and this time I can see



A love like this is so hard to find

And so many never do

And loves like this, when they even exist

Are precious and few, you know they're precious and few



Down the miles, through the years

Yours is the star by which I steer, the brightest star I've known

And when I feel all hope is gone, yours is the love that leads me on

The light that guides me home

The light that guides me home

Your light will guide me home
