If You've Loved

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know
If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know

Long talks,     holding each other
A nod a wink,    smiling, giving in
Being wrong,    more than once
An argument,    smiling,     giving in

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know

Good bye kisses for as long as it takes
Holding on, crying, letting go
Anticipation,     when you’ll be home
Wet lips,     waiting for hello

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know

How fast,     the children grow
Understanding, sighing, letting go
Growing up and growing old
…….     ………..     Letting go

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know

Feelings     of passion and pain
Willing to put someone else     first
And willing to do it         all over again
Like they say,                 for better or for worse

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know

How good it feels
To believe in someone
And have someone believe in you
How good it feels to have someone beside you
For the ride of a lifetime

If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know
If you’ve loved really loved
You will know, you will know
