Celine Dion - Didn't Know Love (A Home For The Holidays CBS December 18,2013)

Didn't Know Love

I thought I had it long ago

I held on but it let go

It kissed me on a subway train, and I melted

It got my hand, it brushed my cheek

It moved right in, it cut me deep

You know it even had a name, I really felt it

I didn’t know love, not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known

It’s making me weak, making me strong

It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find it gone

I didn’t know love

It’s a blessing, it’s a curse

You know you’ve found it when it hurts

It can drive you off a cliff

But it’s worth it

Careful where you spend the night

It’s complicated when it’s right

You can make me such a mess

Yeah, you’re perfect

But, I didn’t know love, not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known

It’s making me weak, making me strong

It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find you gone

I didn’t know love

No, I didn’t know love

Now you’re lying in my arms beside me

In the past, I’d settle for a touch

I’d tell myself it was enough

I was lying, lying, lying,

’Cause I didn’t know love

I didn’t know love, not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening than I’ve ever known

It’s making me weak, making me strong

It’s making me afraid I’m gonna wake up and find you gone

I didn’t know love

No, I didn’t know love

I didn’t know love

I didn’t know love
