We tried to put in a bottle,
Put it in a locket,
Put it in a picture, in a frame, on the wall.
And we wear it like a medal,
On a ring around the finger,
Though it's beautiful,
It's not what really matters at all.
So boy don't promise me any of those things,
Cause what I really need
Is love, that blows like the wind,
Kisses my skin, and says a prayer at night,
When I lay down turn out the light
It's a love that burns in your heart,
Falls like tears from my eyes,
I need a love that's alive.
It's knownin' without saying,
It's giving without taking,
And rememberin' what it was like the moment we met
It's the time it takes to listen,
It's fighting for forgiveness,
Without forgetting
Just how fragile both of our hearts can get
It's arms that open wide, anywhere, anytime,
So what I really need is:
Love, that blows like the wind,
Kisses my skin, and says a prayer,
At night when I lay down turn out the lights.
It's love that burns in your heart,
Falls like tears from my eyes,
I need a love that's alive
And stronger every day,
More beautiful with age
And I know once I have it,
I won't take one kiss for granted
Love, that burns in your heart,
Falls like tears from my eyes,
I need a love that's alive!
I need a love that's alive!
