Love Steps Out
by Michael Doyle

Every hour that is passing
Turns into its own test.
I find my life always changing. 
I don't get much rest.

It's a long way to the sun.
But I keep on reaching out.
It seems my dreams have just begun.
I have no time in which to doubt.

Love steps into the bright light.
It's on how she closes her eyes.
I know that her heart is just right.
Her smile makes it hard not to recognize.

I know that I'd never fake it.
But I want to take it to the top.
What does it take to make it?
I know that I'll never stop.

Taking it a half tone down
Makes the feel a little tougher.
I won't be the one who backs down.
I'll be the one who plays at being rougher.

Love steps into the bright light.
It's on how she closes her eyes.
I know that her heart is just right.
Her smile makes it hard not to recognize.

I've a little faith and hope to hold onto,
As I write songs inside my head.
The rhythm draws me into you
With all the feelings that I dread.

I sit here wondering what you'd say
If I knew the truth that would make you care.
I'd find my way to have the day
One bold enough for two to share.

Love steps into the bright light.
It's on how she closes her eyes.
I know that her heart is just right.
Her smile makes it hard not to recognize.

If You feel love, you will know it.
It's in how you shyly look away.
If you're in love, don't be afraid to show it.
Live in the feelings felt every day. 

The ripple in the river flows to remind
Me of how the second of life continue to flow
Until that sacred moment that we find
The truest of loves that we'll ever know.

Love steps into the bright light.
It's on how she closes her eyes.
I know that her heart is just right.
Her smile makes it hard not to recognize.
