by Roger Brown



I knew love when it still meant forever

When a feeling shared didn't always have to hurt

And the promise that was made would go unbroken

I knew love when it was more than just a word



And I knew a time when hope was all you needed

And if you cared you found a way to make things work

And life was what two people shared together

Oh I knew love when it was more than just a word



Chorus:

I knew love when I could still believe

it was the greatest power in the world

I knew love when it was more than just a word



I knew hearts when they made it all so easy

Sad good-byes were seldom ever heard

When I wouldn't have to read this note that says you're leaving

Yeah I knew love when it was more than just a word
