Love Found

As soon as I had given up on ever finding love
Convinced that a match for me was ne’er to be found
It was then that I was smiled upon by Cupid from up above
So hard was I struck in the heart, it felled me to the ground

Convinced that a match for me was ne’er to be found
The desperation with which I searched left and set me free
So hard was I struck in the heart, it felled me to the ground
Released from the bondage of despair, love was able to find me

The desperation with which I searched left and set me free
It was then that I was smiled upon by Cupid from up above
Released from the bondage of despair, love was able to find me
As soon as I had given up on ever finding love
