How shall I speak of love, what is it?
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
A pain that rises, a pain that lingers,
In the chest, a rising ache.
But oh, the joy!
How shall I speak of love, what is it?

The seasons shift, they ever change,
The heart's desires, they rise and sway.
The seasons shift, they ever change,
The heart's desires, they rise and sway.
A touch upon my veil, a stirring,
A touch upon my veil, a stirring,
The mad wind flees away.
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
How shall I speak of love, what is it?

Storms have raged, they've come before,
Erasing hamlets, hearts laid low.
Storms have raged, they've come before,
Erasing hamlets, hearts laid low.
But this one, as it arrives,
But this one, as it arrives,
Builds a world anew.
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
How shall I speak of love, what is it?

The moon and stars, they shone above,
The moon and stars, they shone above,
Yet darkness always filled my soul.
The moon and stars, they shone above,
Yet darkness always filled my soul.
Then, with a smile, in shadows deep,
Then, with a smile, in shadows deep,
A single lamp ignited.
How shall I speak of love, what is it?
