You'Re the Only Love I Know

You're the only love I know There are women everywhere I go, but they don't mean a thing to me, You're the only love I know, and it comes so easily. It doesn't matter what I do, only your love occupies my mind, I'll never ever let you go, I'll stand by you til the end of time Finding you was a big surprise, as I wandered from town to town I saw love staring through your eyes Now I'll never ever let you down Bridge You're the only love I know,(yeah) You're the only love I know You're the only love I know(yeah) You're the only love I know Chorus It doesn't matter where I go, It doesn't matter what I do, You're the only love I know, eternity looks good on you, You came in like a tidal wave, you really caught me off guard, You're love's the only one I crave, I got you tattooed on my heart Just when I put down my shield, your love caressed my lonely heart My weakness has been revealed Now I just can't wait to start Some other guys may like to go skirting leaving their women home all alone I could never ever think of flirting, you've made a home deep in my bones Finding you was a big surprise, as I wandered from town to town I saw love staring through your eyes Now I'll never ever let you down Bridge You're the only love I know,(yeah) You're the only love I know You're the only love I know(yeah) You're the only love I know Chorus It doesn't matter where I go, It doesn't matter what I do, You're the only love I know, eternity looks good on you, You came in like a tidal wave, you really caught me off guard, You're love's the only one I crave, I got you tattooed on my heart Bridge You're the only love I know,(yeah) You're the only love I know You're the only love I know(yeah) You're the only love I know repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton May 15,2019

These are song lyrics Darlene, I am putting music to these lyrics. Romance poetry doesn't have a bridge and a chorus as it is not written with music in mind. Thanks for your kind words and visit.
