"What is love?" I used to ask
I never really knew
I never really felt
The kind of love I feel for you

The feeling is a happy one
Which sometimes makes me cry
The only pain I ever feel
Is when we say goodbye

My love for you, to say in words
Would take me countless days
And love, itself, can be expressed
In many different ways

Like running and playing
And constantly saying
I love you and care for you so
And by hugging and kissing
And sweet reminiscing
About how we met long ago

And by laughing and singing
And sending and bringing
And sharing and giving away
You will feel all the caring
And loving and sharing
We have for each other today
