Back when I was 10 years old
With a rose and a valentine
I thought that love was bought and sold
With candy hearts that say be mine
But it's not like the movies show
It's not like the stories read
The more you try the more you know
Just how hard it can be
Not to give up on that dream
Oh, I wish that I had seen it sooner
I never knew what love was till I knew you
They say the best things in life
Always take their sweet time
Time with you is all I need and
My life is so much sweeter because of you
Oh, because of you
A laugh that always lights the room
A hand to catch the deepest tears
A heart to change the bad to good
A faithful friend through the years
Oh, I wish that I had seen it sooner
I never knew what love was till I knew you
They say the best things in life
Always take their sweet time
Time with you is all I need and
My life is so much sweeter because of you
Because of you
Oh, I wish that I had seen it sooner
I never knew what love was till I knew you
They say the best things in life
Always take their sweet time
Time with you is all I need and
My life is so much sweeter because of you
Oh, because of you
