i know what love is lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s a little girl with pretty curls, she’s about five years old
she is waiting at the gate for her dad to come home
when he pulls around the corner in his shiny white car
she feels the magic light up in her heart
he picks her up and he holds her
he says he missed her and he’s glad that she’s here
as the child lays her head on his shoulder
she whispers these words in his еar

[chorus]
daddy, i know exactly what love is
love is rеal simple and true
love is this feeling my heart gets
when i’m being held close by you

[verse 2]
now she is twenty and there’s plenty of love everywhere
she’s getting married so her family and her friends are all there
they’ve gathered this morning to stand at her side
as she waves goodbye to this time in her life
and they each take a moment to hold her
and to tell her what she means to them
in a world that seems to keep getting colder
she has been blessed with warm family and friends
[chorus]
she says, i know exactly what love is
love is real simple and true
love is this feeling my heart gets
when i’m being held close by you

[verse 3]
now they are older and no one told her it got crazy like this
they’re going to night school, they’re working jobs too
and they are raising three kids
the youngest one is crying with a bruise on her knee
she needs attention and she needs sympathy
and when she picks her up and she holds her
that old magic lights up in her heart
and as the child lays her head on her shoulder
she knows exactly why they’re working so hard

[chorus]
little girl, i know exactly what love is
love is real simple and true
love is this feeling my heart gets
when i’m being held close by you

[verse 4]
now they are sixty and their history spans forty*odd years
they have buried their parents, now their grandkids are here
there’s something about the way they look in each other’s eyes
that speaks softly about the meaning of life
and when he puts his arm out to hold her
it feels so familiar and warm
she thinks love is an expanding endeavor
’til your last breath from the moment you’re born
[chorus]
she says, i know exactly what love is
love is real simple and true
love is this feeling my heart gets
when i’m being held close by you

[verse 5]
now she is eighty and she hates being in this nursing home
her man’s been gone now for a long while and she feels so alone
she closes her eyes as she begins to pray
that a little comfort might just come her way
and god lifts her up and he holds her
and she remembers this feeling she has
she is not a woman whose life is almost over
she’s a little girl being held by her dad

[chorus]
and god, i know exactly what love is
love is real simple and true
love is this feeling my heart gets
when i’m being held close by you

[outro]
and god, love is real simple
love is real simple
and love is real simple and true
