Love didn't have much to work with When it got a hold of me Still recovering from my last time out Doing my best to learn to live without it Just when I thought all my feelings had died Something came over me that can't be denied don't under estimate the power of love You're never down so low that it can't lift you up Don't under estimate what it can do I'm living proof of the power of love It didn't hit me like lightening From a dark and stormy sky It came on more like a peaceful wind It made me feel like trying again I didn't realize how good it could be Until love worked its magic on me don't under estimate the power of love You're never down so low that it can't lift you up Don't under estimate what it can do I'm living proof of the power of love don't under estimate the power of love You're never down so low that it can't lift you up Don't under estimate what it can do I'm living proof of the power of love
