Somewhere along the way, I fell.
You smiled as you picked me up.
I saw the cup before me as half empty.
You showed me a half full cup.
That's what true love is ...
When life dealt me a losing hand,
You showed me how to play it.
I lost the word I was looking for.
You taught me how to say it.
That's what true love is ...
When I was down and felt alone,
You stayed right there beside me.
You looked past any unkind words
And saw the heart inside me.
That's what true love is ...
Love is not always burning passion.
For, sometimes, that fire goes out.
But, it is always comfort and compassion,
The kind that makes you want to shout!
