Since I Found You
Chris Rea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a smile on the faces I see
Since I found you
There's a laugh in the eye, where a tear used to be
Since I found you
There's a sound of a Memphis section playing on my radio
And it sings of the reasons why I love you so
Since I found you
There's a groove that's so smooth
I can hardly tell who's in the studio
And the girls on the street
Sing out of tune so sweet
I just have to go, it's all I need to know
Since I found you, I ain't never going to give you up
Since I found you, you keep me looking up
You keep me looking up




You keep me looking up
Turn it up
