Never Knew Love

All that I have I'd gladly give to you 
Deep in my heart i feel secure, 
I want you to know that i am here for you, 
Cause i know in my heart you belong here, 
And i never knew love like this. 
When you hold me, and you thrill me, 
And i never knew love like this. 
When you touch me, and you leave me breathless, 
When You
You hold me in your arms 

I still remember when you came to me 
You were so very insecure 
Think through I'm someone's insincerity 
And i know in my heart you belong here 
And i never knew love like this 
When you hold me, and you thrill me, 
And i never knew love like this 
When you touch me and you leave me breathless, 
I never knew love like this 
When you hold me, and you thrill me, 
And i never knew love like this 
When you touch me and you leave me breathless, 
When You... You hold me in your arms

When you hold me, and you thrill me, 
And i never knew love like this 
When you touch me and you leave me breathless, 
I never knew love like this 
When you hold me, and you thrill me, 
And i never knew love like this 
When you touch me and you leave me breathless, 
I never knew love like this
