By Love I Mean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ran away, would of stay
But loneliness made me afraid
My heart decided and my feet obeyed
Now I'm living just to love you
Day again, night again
I'm waiting for a ride again
I need to be inside again
And a friendly fire to warm me
[Chorus:]
By love I mean
We'll be alone together
By love I mean
I want to spend my life with you
By love I mean
I will need or want no other
That's what I mean by love
Back again, inside again
Feeling I'm alive again
Got my lover, got my friend again
And I got some pride inside me
Ran away, would of stay
But loneliness made me afraid
My heart decided and my feet obeyed
Now I'm living just to love you
[Chorus]
