I Knew Love Lyrics
Nanci Griffith
by Roger Brown
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
