Lyrics

What I Thought Was Love

The first time that I saw love
I could not keep from staring and it sure seemed strange
The next time that I saw love
I believed my eyes and gave the dice a roll for a change

And I went on down
I went on down the road after...
I went on down,
I went on down the road after what I thought was love

The first time that I felt love
I did not bet it would reach right out and slap me in the face
The next time that I felt love
I feared what I had done would surely make me fall from grace

Still, I went on down
I went on down the road after...
I went on down,
I went on down the road after what I thought was love

Love is so elusive
Like a memory you can't find
And it will sneak up on you from behind

Son, that's when I knew love
Was here to stay, within me now, until my dyin' day
And I know that you'll get to know love
It'll catch you, kid, just like it did me along the way

As I went on down
I went on down the road after...
I went on down,
I went on down the road after what I thought was love
