This Is What Love Feels Like

This is what love feels like

I've known you only for a short while
I really love.... love your smile,
come with me...it'll be alright
cos this is what... love feels like

We've been together, for some time
I've gotta say...it feels sublime
You're ready now to stay the night
because my bride, this is what love feels like

Chorus
The time is right....
this is what... love feels like
and I promise...that I'm, gonna be here 
for the rest of your life

Now day by day, I have to say...
you give me love... in your special way
I love to look...into your sweet eyes
I guess this is... what love feels like

Chorus
The time is right....
this is what... love feels like
and I promise...that I'm, gonna be here 
for the rest of your life


I been with you... through all these years
we've had some laughs... we've had some tears
but we know... by the end of our our lives
that we've known... what love, feels like


Chorus
The time is right....
this is what... love feels like
and I promise...that I'm, gonna be here 
for the rest of your life

From a short time to years thru emotional verse; how poetically real life! I enjoyed the read very much, even heard John Hyatt (sp?) for some reason, but I like him so that's a good thing. All the best ... CayCay
