Only Love
Southside Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue eyes
Hold me tight
You've got the sweetest kiss
That I've ever known
Four A.M.
Where do I begin?
Caving in
You should know
That you're the only
Love I've ever known
And baby, does your heart ache
The way mine does for you?
Well all I ever wanted
Is for you to know the truth
I hope someday you'll feel the way
The way that I do
When I'm with you
And time stops
As my heart grows
And everything seems make-believe
When your lips take control
And stars will fall
As we grow old
Yet
My life feels like a dream
When you're dancin' alone
And I believe
And darlin' you never may
So I hold on
And I believe
I'm falling head over feet
So believe me when I say
You're the only
Love I've ever known
And does your heart ache
The way mine does for you?
