That's all it took the mention of your name And all my love for you burst into flame I've tried so hard to let you go by look How I still tremble at your name that's all it took That's all it took to make me know that I still care It seems my heart just can't give up the dreams we used to share I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book And when today I heard them say your name that's all it took That's all it took to make me yearn to your embrace I guess I might as well admit no one can take your place I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
