I guess we guess are way through life How many times do we really know for sure? I was just hoping for the best Then I woke up in these lovin' arms of yours What I felt was unmistakable When I fell for you It was real, it was magic It was calm, it was savage It was cool as a breeze It was warm to the touch It was never enough It was always too much It did all the things love does That's how I knew It was Who thought that I could laugh so loud Then turn around and cry so many tears I used to have so many doubts But one by one you made them disappear What I found was unbelievable But I believe it's true It was real, it was magic It was calm, it was savage It was cool as a breeze It was warm to the touch It was never enough It was always too much It did all the things love does That's how I knew It was You asked what I felt when you walked through the door Was it fear? Was it clear? It was all that and more It was real, it was magic It was calm, it was savage It was cool as a breeze It was warm to the touch It was never enough It was always too much It did all the things love does That's how I knew It was That's how I knew It was
