Love Is Love

I never thought too much of her While we were growing up She was just another rich girl Who lived in the country club But as time went on And we grew a little older My feelings toward her Made me a little bolder I saw her in a different light She was a little girl no more Whenever I would see her I'd always walk her to her door So many times I'd ask her out But she'd politely turn me down I'd always walk away from her With my heart dragging on the ground The next time that I saw her She asked me to sit down She said, I want to share something with you While there's no one else around As we sat there she held my hand She started to explain She talked so soft and slowly Her words came out so plain She said the reason why She never went out with me Because she was in love With someone else you see She said, it was another woman Who stole my heart away That she loved her very deeply And that's how it's going to stay She said how much she liked me But I was nothing more then a friend She said, she valued our friendship Because on me she could depend I remember how I looked at her I said, I'm so very happy for you In life we get one chance To do what we want to do I said, it doesn't matter who you love Just as long as love is real If love is strong and it's true Then it's a love no one else can ever steal 1-17-19/RjH
