When I was young I could tell between the moon and the stars And I would hold my breath underwater for a minute and a half You came along, to be my baby And then you came along, to be my darlin Love, when did I learn to be perfectly fine, with the Wind in my hair and the cold of my feet Was gone then you came along to be my baby Love, then you came along, to be my darling It was love before I even held your hands It was love and I could tell that I was weak In the knees and so we danced our time away Into the night I thought I was, born in a jungle but I was born In a palace of green and I couldn't stay Another night without holding my knees between yours Another night without feeling your lips on mine Baby if they, call me a failure you could be my prize If my life is a joke, you could be my smile Another home, another land, another city If it means that i could be a better man in your eyes It was love before I even held your hands It was love and I could tell that I was weak In the knees and so we danced our time away Into the night It was love, before i even closed my eyes It was love and I could tell that you were holding your breath And so we sang our hearts, out into the night
