This isn't sometimes, this is always
This isn't maybe, this is always
This is love
The real beginning of forever

This isn't just mid summer madness
A passing glow, a moment's gladness
Yes, it's love
I knew it on the night we met

You tied a string around my heart
So how can I forget you
With every kiss I know that
This is always

(Orchestral Break)

This isn't just mid summer madness
A passing glow, a moment's gladness
Yes it's love
I knew it on the night we met

You tied a string around my heart
So how can I forget you
With every kiss I know that
This is always
