To love is just a word I've heard when things are being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass…”

Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you.”
