I Found This Love
Sharon Doorson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If this ain’t love then what is it that keeps you runnin through my mind?
Oh if this ain’t love, oh if this ain’t love
If this ain’t love then how is it I always seem to lose my sense of time?
Oh if this ain’t love, oh if this ain’t love

‘Cause I just don’t want this, nobody else
When I look at you it’s like I’m lookin back at myself
Perfect the collection, my perfect world

Loving is so unconditional and I never knew

But I felt so crazy and baby
I’m feelin so powerful, I don’t ever ever wanna lose
My baby, you make me
Now I can finally say

I found love
And I’m so proud that I can finally say
I found it in you

It’s funny how you never miss a tell, it slaps it you in the face
Oh yea you did that, oh yea you did that
Then money comes along and changes everything in every kind of way
Oh yea you did that, oh yea you did that

It’s like when you changed it
But I knew it all
‘Cause I’ve been everywhere around the world, that times the one
Maybe it’s a blessing, you told me then
I was so proud to say
From now I got you in my heart,

I found love
And I’m so proud that I can finally say

The love of my life
Completed my picture
Bleeding, you follow that
The night, it turn to light
Fill up my void, ain’t no existence
I think that I’m going to heaven when I look into your eyes
And I would never no no
Can never come close
You know that I feel
I know that time was real
And it’s you and me
As I love you, love me

I found love
And I’m so proud that I can finally say
I found love
And I’m so proud that I can finally say
I found it in you

If this ain’t love then what is it that keeps you runnin through my mind?
