Lyrics
You understand, don’t you
Why I’m sure I’m yours forever and a day
You’ll understand, won’t you?
Darling, when I say
Chorus
I’ve been in love before, it’s true
Been learning to adore just you
Some old romance taught me how to kiss
To smile like that and sigh like this
I’ve been in love before, you see
So you mean all the more to me
A heart that’s lived a bit can tell when it beats true
I’ve been in love before, haven’t you?
