The Love Song

First time I felt it, think I was five years old
I was scared had a nightmare momma was there for me to hold
Daddy he was different he never said it much
But I heard him loud and clear when he brought home that ball and glove
Then it took on a brand new meaning
I wasn't just a boy no more when she moved in next door
Where you from? What's your name?
Wanna go to my game?
Got the keys to my dad's old truck
Turn the radio off to remember the song
We held hands and there we was
Love
Pages kept turnin' there I was with someone else
First time in my lifetime I wasn't livin' for myself
I knew I wasn't fallin' anywhere I'd fell before
This place was different it was deeper it was more
Then it took on a brand new meaning
Yeah, it was strong and it was true knew what I had to do
Found a ring hit my knees
Couldn't talk, couldn't breathe
My heart had me all choked up
Said, I do as we cried wedding bells
Waved goodbye the whole church knew it was
Love
Then it took on a brand new meaning
When the doctor said: It's time to watch your miracle arrive
Thank the Lord cut the cord
Take her home help her grow
And complete the circle of love
Love
That's the circle of love
