We Had Love lyrics

We had hope
When I found you I was searechin' for myself
For you were slowly leavin' someone else
We were in that same old state of mind
And we helped each other leave the past behind

We had dreams
At first it all seemed too good to be true
And we tried our best and did all we could do
But if healin' can't be bound, how hard you tried
And a smile can't wipe away the tears inside

(We had love)
The kind that seems to come back, oh, so fast
(We had love)
Oh, but sometimes stronger than the kind that lasts
It can lift you up and let you down
While it helps you get your feet back on the ground

We had plans
We made when we believed that we would try
And we held on never dreamin' the dream would die
You brought me back and taught me things I'd never chanced to see
And I hope you'll always smile when you think of me

(We had love)
The kind that seems to come back, oh, so fast
(We had love)
Oh, but sometimes stronger than the kind that lasts
It can lift you up and let you down
While it helps you put your feet back on the ground

(We had love)
The kind that seems to come back, oh, so fast
(We had love)
But it was stronger than the kind that lasts
It can lift you up and let you down
While it helps you get your feet back on the ground

(We had love)
(We had love)
(We had love)
