Lyrics
Verse 1
When you love someone, it's hard to know what's right
Should I let go lightly, or hold on tight
Only Heaven knows what will be
The Right Amount of Love.
Verse 2
Only time will tell if I held on too strong
Or if I left him lonely, alone too long
Only Heaven knows what will be
The Right Amount of Love.
Bridge 1:
What's The Right Amount of Love to show?
I want to give it all, but - I don't know
Too much, too little, might turn him away
I carefully watch every single word I say.
Repeat Verse 1
Bridge 2:
What's The Right Amount of Love to show?
The right amount of rain makes a flower grow
Too much, too little, kills it either way
The answer to my question changes every day.
Repeat Verse 2
