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

I knew love when I could still believe
It was the greatest power in the world
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

I knew love when I could still believe
It was the greatest power in the world
Love when it was more than just a word

I knew love when it was more than just a word
