I am a little surprised that everyone thinks this song is referring to romantic love. You do not have to look too closely at the lyrics to see this is not the subject. The ‘power of love’ the lady is describing here is the overwhelming exhilaration and sexual charge of her ‘first time’, being that she is inexperienced at sexual intercourse. Look again please ... whispers rolling by like thunder refers to the dizziness, the head-rush experienced as she’s swept away from reality during her first sex act. Keep in mind that they are laying in each other’s arms, they’re looking into each other’s eyes, and she is feeling ‘every move he makes’. He’s inside her at this point. And these moves he’s making that she feels, well he’s surely not reaching for the remote! His voice warm and tender ... he has successfully seduced her and she is willingly giving in to him physically and sexually (a love she will not forsake). Also, describing later in the song what’s going on, she hears his heartbeat, which would obviously mean his chest is near her face as they are ‘doing it’. Since he is also extremely aroused, his heart is beating so loudly that she can hear it ... and it’s certainly not because he’s been working out at the gym, either. She’s going somewhere she’s never been (going all the way for the first time, giving her virginity to this man), but she’s ready to succumb to the power of love. Frightened but ready to learn ... i.e. nervous because she’s inexperienced, but she’s ready to learn what it’s like, going ‘all the way’. Definitely NOT about romantic love, though many do not pay enough attention to recognize the real action being skillfully described by the lyrics. Read through the lyrics again and it will be easy to see what she’s telling us here, what’s really happening .
