That's All It Took
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.
That's all it took the mention of your name
And all my love for you burst into flame
I've tried so hard to let you go by look
How I still tremble at your name that's all it took
That's all it took to make me know that I still care
It seems my heart just can't give up the dreams we used to share
I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book
And when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
[ fiddle ]
That's all it took to make me yearn to your embrace
I guess I might as well admit no one can take your place
I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
