I Found Love
R. Kelly Lyrics

On the quiet street in the city
In a peaceful neighborhood within the bustling city

A little old man walked alone
A solitary elderly man strolled by himself

Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
Moving slowly through the late afternoon of the fall season

And the autumn leaves reminded him
The falling leaves served as a reminder for him

Another summer's come and gone
Yet another summer had passed by

He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
He had an extended period of loneliness awaiting the arrival of June

The among the leaves near an orphan's home
Amongst the leaves close to a residence for orphans

A piece of paper caught his eyes
His attention was drawn to a paper that caught his sight

And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
With trembling hands, he stood and retrieved the paper

And as he read the childish writing
While reading the youthful handwriting

The old man began to cry
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes

And the words burned inside him like a brand
The words deeply affected him, leaving a lasting impression

Whoever finds this I love you
To anyone who discovers this, know that I love you

Whoever finds this I need you
To whoever comes across this, understand that I need you

I even got no one to talk to
I don't even have someone to talk to

So whoever finds this I love you
Therefore, to the person who discovers this, I love you

And the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
The old man's gaze scanned the orphanage

And came to rest upon a child
Finally settling on a particular child

With her nose pressed up against the window pane
The girl's nose was pressed against the window glass

And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
Realizing he had finally found a companion

So he waved at her and smiled
He greeted her with a wave and a smile

And they both knew they'd spend the winter laughing at the rain
They were aware that they would pass the winter season joyfully, finding amusement in the rain

And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Indeed, they spent the winter with laughter as rain poured outside

Talking through the fence
Engaging in conversations across the fence

Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
Swapping small presents they had crafted for one another

The old man would carve toys
The elderly man would intricately carve toys

And the little girl would draw pictures for
And the young girl would create drawings in return

Beautiful ladies for hand
Depicting beautiful ladies by her hand

And they laughed a lot
They shared numerous moments of laughter

But then one day on the first of June
However, on a specific day in June

The little girl ran to the fence and the old man wasn't there
The girl rushed to the fence, but the old man was absent

And somehow she knew he was never coming back
Intuitively, she realized he would never return

So she went back to her little room took a crayon alone
Subsequently, she returned to her small room and grasped a crayon while feeling alone

Whoever finds this, I love you
To anyone who discovers this, understand that I love you

Whoever finds this, I need you
To whoever comes across this, know that I need you

I even got no one to talk to
I don't even have someone to talk to

So whoever finds this, I love you
Therefore, to the person who discovers this, I love you

So whoever finds this, I love you
So to whomever finds this, know that I deeply love you
