Love Was New

(album: Hot Streets - 1978)

Remember when we were first falling in love
How we planned all the things we would do
Beautiful days and the nights all ablaze
Hoping our dreams would come true
Love was new
Remember the house at the top of the hill
How the sunlight caressed all the trees
I played all my music I sang you my love
The chiming church bells rode the breeze
Love was new
Time has a way of obscuring our memories
And good times are hard to recall
Basic survival and day to day living
Leaves no time for romance at all
I just wanted to say I'm still falling in love
Every day with you, every day
Remember that Christmas with just a few friends
And the whole town was covered with snow
We laughed and we loved as we skied in the sun
It seems such a long time ago
Love was new
Something you said one night started me thinking
How sweet love is as it begins
Taken for granted it slips through your fingers
And leaves you on needles and pins
But there ain't no way baby that we'd let that happen
Our love will always be new
I just wanted to say I'm still falling in love
Every day with you, falling in love every day with you
