I Love U
Nichols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had underestimated
How much I would love you
How much I would feel
These distractions couldn't keep my heart from
Feeling the attraction
This is something real
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oh oh
Time was always on our side
It opened up our eyes
And showed us something new
Taking chances, we were only friends
Got caught up in romance
With nothing left to lose
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oooooo
I get to love you
Oh oh
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
This is forever
Our love will live forever
I know we'll have each other
To hold onto forever
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oh oh
I get to love you
Oooooo




I get to love you
Oh oh
