I Knew Love - Nanci Griffith

I knew love

When it still meant forever

When a feeling shared didn’t always have to hurt

And a promise that was made would go unbroken

I knew love

When it was more than a word

I knew a time

When hope was all you needed

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

When life was what two people shared together

Oh, I knew love

When it was more than a word

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

And sad goodbyes were seldom ever heard

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

I knew love

When it was more than just a word

I knew love when it was more than just a word
