It Was A Love Song
by Dave Undis and Michael Skotte
VERSE
There was a knock on my door.
I opened it to see
A vision of loveliness
Smiling at me.
That knock on my door
Turned my whole life upside down.
From that moment on
It was a love song.
CHORUS
It was a love song, I found myself in.
It was a love song, about to begin.
I didn’t know the chords. I didn’t know the key. I didn’t know the words or the melody.
It was a love song, I had to stumble through.
It was a love song, about me and you.
I couldn’t keep time. I mangled some rhymes. I butchered some lines. It was a love song.
VERSE
You just wanted directions.
You were new to town.
I asked if you’d like me to
Show you around.
You answered yes
And I played tour guide all day long.
You showed me something too.
It was a love song.
CHORUS
It was a love song, we learned it on the fly.
It was a love song, we somehow got it right.
We figured out the chords. We figured out the key. We figured out the words and the melody.
It was a love song, you were the hook.
It was a love song, and we made it cook.
We practiced a bit, got the pieces to fit, ended up with a hit. It was a love song.
BRIDGE
First date, bad kiss,
Bumped noses, dry lips.
First time, back seat,
Drive-in movie, ecstacy.
First fight, dear John,
Made up, carried on.
First of June, big wedding,
Picket fence, happy ending.
CHORUS
It was a love song, we learned it on the fly.
It was a love song, we somehow got it right.
We figured out the chords. We figured out the key. We figured out the words and the melody.
It was a love song, you were the hook.
It was a love song, and we made it cook.
We practiced a bit, got the pieces to fit, ended up with a hit. It was a love song.
It was a love song.
