Yes, love is such a special thing,
That lifts my heart and makes it sing,
And then when voices say the words,
I feel pure joy, when they are heard.

And as I live my daily life,
I muddle through my trials and strife,
But when those words, from heart are said,
That nurture love and keep it fed.

Then I'm renewed with loving food,
My heart ignites with passion's mood,
Rejoicing in the things I feel,
Because I know it's 'Oh so real.

And so I give my heart to you,
And know in all, I say and do,
You are the one I'm thinking of,
Because you are the one I love.
