(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



It's the spell that can't be broken

It's your breath upon my neck

It's the words I long to tell you but haven't yet

It's the need to see you constantly

And the need to be alone

Just to balance out what's left of me

And what's too far gone

What if the night complied, bringing you to my door

What if I let you in, baby, isn't that what the night is for?



In the name of love there's nothing that I would not do

In the name of love I'd lose myself to find you

In the name of love.....



It's the prayer I send up daily for some courage and some pride

When your hand brushes my shoulder and our eyes collide

It's the smallest of seductions and the quietest of lures

And I'm all at once an innocent in the big bad world

But what if the night conspired, bringing you to my door

Why should I turn you away now, I don't want to wait anymore



In the name of love there's nothing that I would not do

In the name of love I'd lose myself to find you

In the name of love.....



But when the darkness fades, giving way to morning light

You will find me gone, to carry on the lonely fight



In the name of love there's nothing that I would not do

In the name of love I'd lose myself to find you

In the name of love.....
