How do you know a love is true?
How do you know it's pure?
How do you know that what you feel is love?
And how do you know for sure?
Well,
You will know that love is true,
If it can stand the test of time.
You will know that love is pure,
If, with age, it gets better like wine.
You will know that what you feel is love,
If you always feel the sun's warmth on you.
And you will know you're sure of things,
When you are ready to say "I do."
