When You Love Someone
Drop N Harmony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of the blue she came to see me
It's been a while since we've been apart
truth be told my knees they were trembling
I swear I felt like a little child
for she was more beautiful than ever
a healing sight to my own eyes
and the fact that we were together
never crossed my mind

So I asked her how she's been doing
Is she seeing someone new?
She replied her vibe was something was missing
and I'm thinking it might be you
That's when she put her arms around me
and laid her face on mine yeah
shortly thereafter she lifted her hand
and gently kissed my lips

CHORUS
Cause when you love someone,
truly love someone
No matter how hard you try
sometimes you can't let go
And if the one you love
should feel the same way in return
Then make the one you love yours forever

We talked all night well into morning
Catching up on days gone by
Before I left he said he had something to show me
and what he showed me brought tears to my eyes
All over his room were cards and pictures
reminicing the one world gone
then cheek to cheek he softly whispered
to you I dedicate my soul

Cause when you love someone,
truly love someone
No matter how hard you try
Sometimes you can't let go
And if the one you love
Should feel the same way in return
Then make the one you love yours forever

Suddenly I feel the sunlight shining down upon me
Like it never has before
From now on I promise that together we'll be
inseperable forever more
We'll make it better than it was before
When you love someone
no matter how hard you try
sometimes we can't let go

Cause when you love someone,
truly love someone
No matter how hard you try
sometimes you can't let go
And if the one you love
should feel the same way in return
Then make the one you love yours forever

My heart's found its way back home
My baby's never gonna have to worry




about a thing I'm down for him until the end
She's the love of my life
