There was a time   When I knew nothing about love   A silly little girl   Masking her feelings from the world   You bring me so much joy   And I thank God from up above   Right now I know that what I'm feeling is true love   I love you   I love you      I never thought that I could feel this way   I never thought that we would go all the way   I never thought that I could form my lips to say   I love you   I love you   I love you      Since you've gone away the days are long   And my love grows stranger   I can't hide these tears   And yet my heart it grows fonder   The love I feel for you is like a child on Christmas day   You taught me how to love and just how to communicate   That's why I sing this song to you and to only you   I love you   I love you      I never thought that I could feel this way   I never thought that we would go all the way   I never thought that I could form my lips to say   I love you   I love you   I love you      Love that brings me joy   It feels so natural   Innocent and pure so unconditional   So emotional      I never thought that I could feel this way   I never thought that we would go all the way   I never thought that I could form my lips to say   I love you   I love you   I love you
