When We Began
Michael Ball · Other Songs - Michael Ball
You were feeling cold so I took you in my arms
And your breath was near and your eyes were bright
And the dogs were barking as we sneaked onto the farm
So tell me you love me more than any man
Tell me you love me like at the beginning
Tell me we're only one step from heaven
Chorus:
When we began - love was so simple then
When we began - we could do anything
When we began - anything anything
And the grass was tall and the moon was high
And you bit your lip as you shivered by my side
And we laughed a lot 'cause we both were shy
And we swore to God that we'd never let this feeling die
So tell me you love me more than any man
Tell me you love me like at the beginning
Tell me we're only one step from heavn.
Chorus
So tell me you love me more than any man
Tell me you love me like at the beginning
Tell me we're only one step from heaven
Chorus
