True Love
Amy Grant/Vince Gill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
During all those tears I cried
That one day you would hold me
I just kept hoping inside
True love was waiting
True love would find me in time
True love was waiting
No one ever showed me
Such care and tenderness
Baby, you know me
And what moves me the best
It's true love waiting
It's true love making up for lost time
It's true love waiting
Your love it's finally mine
And I can't erase these lines on my face
But I'd turn back time if I could
But all the years wanting, the desperate longing,
Are maybe what makes this so good
True love, waiting
True love that found us in time
True love is waiting
Your love is finally mine
True love is waiting
Your love is finally mine

The phrase "true love waiting" is repeated in the chorus to emphasize the magnitude of the waiting period and the beauty of the love they finally found.

No one ever told me
Throughout all my struggles, no one warned me
During all those tears I cried
When I was consumed by grief
That one day you would hold me
That someday I would be embraced by you
I just kept hoping inside
I continued to hold on to the promise of hope within me
True love was waiting
An unbreakable love was awaiting
True love would find me in time
This powerful love would ultimately come to me
No one ever showed me
Nobody presented to me
Such care and tenderness
Such kindness and affection
Baby, you know me
My dear, you understand me
And what moves me the best
And what deeply touches me
It's true love waiting
The love that waits is genuine
It's true love making up for lost time
This love is compensating for the previous time it was absent
It's true love waiting
This authentic love is waiting
Your love it's finally mine
Finally, I hold your love
And I can't erase these lines on my face
I am getting old and cannot remove the aging lines
But I'd turn back time if I could
I would go back in time if it were possible
But all the years wanting, the desperate longing,
The years of longing and anxiety
Are maybe what makes this so good
Perhaps this is what makes this love so satisfying
True love, waiting
An authentic love that is waiting
True love that found us in time
This pure love that found us when the time was right
True love is waiting
An unconditional love that is waiting
Your love is finally mine
At last, your love is entirely mine

So happy to see them so happy. Vince Gill has always been one of my favorite singers but I always sensed a loneliness in him till Amy Grant came around. What a blessing
