Williams Deniece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I took my heart and soul, and put ?em on the shelf
Well, I was so low that to me the ground was high
I was about to let life just pass me by
There you were one day standin' in front of me
Askin' me if you could have this heart of mine
Opened my eyes and somehow made me see
I'm so glad you're in my life, I'm so glad you're mine
I found love (I found love)
I found love
I found love (I found love)
And I'm so glad you're in my life
So glad that you're mine
I was so wound up in love till it had me blind
The writing on the wall couldn't read between the lines
Well, I was dressed in silk and satins on the town
I was always lost, but never ever found
There you were one day standin' in front of me
Askin' me if I would give your love a try
Opened my eyes and now I know why
And this ol' rusty, dusty heart of mine, how you've made it shine (Shine)
I'm so glad you're in my life, I'm so glad you're mine
I found love (I found love)
I found love, oh
I found love (I found love), oh, yeah
And I'm so glad you're in my life
So glad that you're mine
I found love (I found love)
I put my heart above the shelf
Said I'd love nobody else (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh (I found love), oh, yeah
And I'm so glad you're in my life
So glad that you're mine
I found love

The lyrics of "I Found Love" by Deniece Williams tell a love story. At first, the singer's heart was closed off to love, and she put it on the shelf. She was blind to love and lost in the world, dressed in fine clothes but never feeling found. Later on, the singer meets someone who stands in front of her and asks for her heart. This person opens her eyes and makes her see why love is worth it. The singer's heart shines again, and she is grateful for this person coming into her life. The lyrics repeat the idea that the singer found love and is so glad this person is in her life.
The lyrics are about finding love once you thought it was lost. It describes the difference in life before and after finding that person. It represents how love has the power to change a person's outlook on everything. Williams' beautiful voice and the background choir with harmonies give it a soulful and uplifting sound that captures the feeling of newfound love.
