Our Love Is True
Adam Merrin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard you knockin on my window
You smiled at me and asked me how have I been
I opened up the door and let you in
And I knew
This conversation was through
We held each other all through the night
And it's true
Our love is true
Our love is true
Baby and I love you
We took a walk in the midday sunshine
We saw the snow on the mountaintop
We talked for hours until the sky turned black
We turned around and we headed on back
And I knew
That you were feeling it too
And you would stay here with me tonight
And it's true
Our love is true
Our love is true
Baby and I love you
I don't know how I lived before without you
I could not sleep at night till I saw you
And I knew
What you wanted to do
We laughed about it all through the night

We took a walk in the midday sunshine

We saw the snow on the mountaintop
While walking, we noticed the snow that was located at the top of the mountain
We talked for hours until the sky turned black
