Bainbridge Merril Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everything i feel inside
feelings that i can not hide
tell me that it's love
got me acting kind of strange
like i'm on a different plane
never thought i could explain
but i know that it's love
rainbow colors fill the air
people always stop and stare
now that i'm with you
suddenly the flowers bloom
whistling a happy tune
i never thought i understood
now i know it's love
cause when you smile
and look at me
suddenly i know
why the birds keep singing
everyplace i go
i finally found the reason why
everything is upside down
my feet dont even touch the ground
but, i know that it's love
cause when you smile and look at me
suddenly i know
why the birds keep singing
everyplace i go
i finally found the reason why
everything is upside down
my feet dont even touch the ground
but, i know that it's love
yes, it's love
i know that it's love
yes, it's love
it's love
yes, it's love
it's love
