BACK WHEN LOVE MEANT SOMETHING
written and performed by Jennifer Prince
I listen to the songs
That lovers sing
‘Bout the mountains high
And the oceans deep
The moon and the stars
And the sky up above
The things that mean
Lasting love.
And I believed it all
It sounded so sweet
And every word you said
Just swept me off my feet
I’d float on a cloud
And land in a dream
Sleep through the night
Never worrying.
Back when love meant something
Back when love meant something
Back when love meant everything.
You were never gonna leave me
That’s what you’d always say
And wrapped up in your arms
Is where I wanted to stay
Safe and warm
Feeling right at home
With you, darling
I’d never be alone.
We’d face life together
Take the good with the bad
Sacrifice for one another
Give it all we had
We’d love for a lifetime
True from the heart
I believed it all
That we’d never part
Back when love meant something
Back when love meant something
Back when love meant everything.
Back when love meant something
Way back when love meant something
Back yonder when love meant something
Before you broke my heart
Before you tore it all apart, yeah
Way back when love meant everything.
