I Know I'm in Love

I know I’m in love when I’d rather stay,
Than have fun with friends on an isle far away,
To sit at restaurant just holding your hand,
Sweet music your words on my ears as they land.

I know I’m in love when I’d rather keep-
You close by my side in the bed where you sleep,
Than trying to find joy in some other place,
I’ve found all I need in your loving embrace.

I know I’m in love when I’d rather see,
You rounding a corner and walking towards me,
There’s nobody else in the world that could do-
For there’s simply no one that’ll duplicate you.

I know I’m in love when I’d rather hold-
You here in my arms so that I can enfold-
You ever, forever, oh please never part,
Yes, I know I’m in love for you’ve captured my heart.
