Touched by Love

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　the first time I saw you
　　and I felt your warmth
　　and heard your laughter.

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　when I was hurting from
　　something that happened,
　　and you came alone
　　and made the hurt go away.

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　when I quit making plans
　　with my friends
　　and started dreaming dreams
　　with you.

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　when I stopped thinking in
　　terms of "me"
　　and started thinking in
　　terms of "we".

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　when suddenly I couldn't make
　　decisions by myself anymore,
　　and I had this strong desire
　　to share everything with you.

　　I knew I had been touched
　　by love...
　　the first time we spent
　　alone together
　　and I knew I wanted to stay
　　with you forever...
　　because I had never felt
　　this touched by love.
