I knew love when it still meant forever When a feeling shared didn't always have to hurt And the promise that was made would go unbroken I knew love when it was more than just a word
And I knew a time when hope was all you needed And if you cared you found a way to make things work And life was what two people shared together Oh I knew love when it was more than just a word
Chorus: I knew love when I could still believe it was the greatest power in the world I knew love when it was more than just a word
I knew hearts when they made it all so easy Sad good-byes were seldom ever heard When I wouldn't have to read this note that says you're leaving Yeah I knew love when it was more than just a word
