Lyrics
When I Love You
Lyrics and Music by Mary Ott copyright 1998
Seems this story?s been told before
Of love undying and so true
But life twists and turns,
And we?ve all been burned
By someone who?s got up
And walked out the door.
Chorus:
When I Love You
Is beside the point
When I need you
Doesn?t work anymore
Can?t be strangers
Can?t be friends.
Time for saying
Must be the end.
Verse 2:
The stories ring familiar bells
We all can say,
Hey, I?ve been there
But where does it stop?
Do we give up all we?ve got?
For someone new,
Who doesn?t know us,
Half as well.
