When Love

When love is new
It's something grand
A fleeting kiss
A squeeze of hands
A knowing look
You're flying high
And all at once
Nothing seems to matter
Just the new affair.

As time goes by
You understand
There's more to this
Than holding hands
It feels like she
Has always been
Close by your side
And nothing seems to matter
Just the new affair.

It feels like you
Just want to live
Day after day
This lucky situation
That's come your way.

When love is old
It's like a song
The words are bare
The music's wrong
And like a flower
That slowly dies and fades away
Leaving no trace at all
Of the new affair.

Seems to me
This time it's gonna be
An everlasting love
Now's the time to choose
You either win or lose
A lasting love.
