Lyrics
His momma drew the curtain As he unpacked his things The smell of home filled the room Like memories with wings The peace and quiet comfort Hit him like water on his face He laid back on the sofa Glad that he was home He said, "I thought I knew what love was Now I wonder if I had." His momma leaned in close said, "Son, you should never have to ask." When you love somebody It hits you like a rock You'll never know what you've been missing Til you realize what you've got And you'll wonder how you ever made it Through your life before Yeah, you'll know you know When they walk right through your door When you love somebody Years later, in a small town coffee shop On a sunday night The woman of his dreams walked in And changed his whole life A few short weeks went by And he had never felt so blessed He held her close one night And he confessed He said, "I never knew what love was Til you took me by surprise, You might think I'm crazy But I think my momma was right." When you love somebody It hits you like a rock You'll never know what you've been missing Til you realize what you've got And you'll wonder how you ever made it Through your life before Yeah, you'll know you know When they walk right through your door When you love somebody There's something's in life we just don't know There's answers we can't find But when it comes to love That's something you can always be sure of, 'cause When you love somebody It hits you like a rock You'll never know what you've been missing Til you realize what you've got And you'll wonder how you ever made it Through your life before Yeah, you'll know you know When they walk right through your door When you love somebody
