about

a love song

lyrics

Just imagine a world of beauty and peace
And a song so sweet, cuts you down at the knees
Put 'em together, you got some idea
Of how I feel about you, my dear
I'd like to think one day you'll find out
But I'm beginning to have my doubts
Cuz you don't know, you'll never know what it feels like loving you

Take the winningest hand you've ever been dealt
Now throw in a smile that just makes you melt
Now my hazy days all seem clearer
You want the reason, take a look in a mirror
You're getting warmer, doc, yeah you're red hot
But a reflection is all you got
Cuz you don't know, you'll never know what it feels like loving...

You have no idea, what's running through my mind
If all in love is supposed to be fair, then I'm just robbing you blind

See the happiest man that you've ever known
Without the greatest love he's ever been shown
Cuz that's what happens when you go away
I sit alone in my room all day
You could be near or far, you could go fast or slow
But you'll always have a hundred miles to go
Cuz you don't know, you'll never know what it feels like loving you
Loving you
