[Verse 1]
When I was young, I could tell between the moon and the stars
And I would hold my breath underwater for a minute and a half
You came along, to be my baby
And then you came along, to be my darlin'

[Verse 2]
Love, when did I learn to be perfectly fine
With the wind in my hair and the cold of my feet was gone? Then you came along to be my baby, love
Then you came along to be my darling

[Chorus]
It was love before I even held your hands
It was love and I could tell that I was weak in the knees
And so we danced our time away into the night

[Verse 3]
I thought I was born in a jungle but I was born
In a palace of green and I couldn’t stay
Another night without holding my knees between yours
Another night without feeling your lips on mine

[Verse 4]
Baby if they call me a failure, you could be my prize
If my life is a joke, you could be my smile
Another home, another land, another city
If it means that I could be a better man in your eyes
[Chorus]
It was love before I even held your hands
It was love and I could tell that I was weak in the knees
And so we danced our time away into the night

[Chorus]
It was love before I even held your hands
It was love and I could tell that I was weak in the knees
And so we danced our time away into the night

[Outro]
It was love, before I even closed my eyes
It was love and I could tell that you were holding your breath
And so we sang our hearts out into the night
Out into the night, out into the night
