I knew love
When it still meant forever
When a feeling shared didn't always
have to hurt
And a promise that was made would
go unbroken
I knew love
When it was more than just a word

I knew a time
When hope was all you needed
And if you cared you found a way to
make things work
When 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
And sad goodbyes were seldom
ever heard
When I wouldn't have to read this
note that says you're leaving
I knew love
When it was more than just a word

(repeat chorus)

I knew love when it was
more than just a word
