Welcome to a love invisible
Welcome to this love so plainly seen
Welcome to a love invincible
Love like I never dream before
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how it would be
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I’d fall
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I would feel
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you it was all borne out in the end
Welcome to a love insensible
Welcome to a love that’s just too true
Welcome to a love irreversible
Welcome to a love that’s just brand new
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how it would be
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you 'cause you’re’ strong
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I would feel
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you
Welcome to a feeling intangible
Welcome to a love that’s what it seems
Welcome to a love so frangible
Together go weaving in my dreams
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how it would be
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I’d fall
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I would feel
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you I think I’d fall
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how it would be
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I’d fall
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I would feel
I could’ve told you 'fore I met you how I’d fall
