Love Like That

FREE IMAGES I've been thinking about my grandparents a lot lately, especially with my grandfather's declining health. They met -- and got married -- just before he left for WWII. It was quite a surprise to everyone, I'm sure, but they enjoyed almost 60 years of wedded bliss together. Growing up, I never got tired of listening to my grandmother tell their love story, and I'd always think, "I want a love like that." Who wouldn't? Do your grandparents have similar stories, friends? xoxo

Everyone said they were crazy

Two kids that had no idea what they were doing

Falling in love like it was forever

And thinking with their hearts wide open

She knew he'd be leaving soon

And life doesn't always give you enough time

So when they stood there waiting on that morning train

She'd be damned if she was going to say goodbye

'Cause when you find a love like that, you give it all you got

It's full-speed ahead and you never stop

It flows through you like the wind

You'd better grab it 'cause it won't come around again

'Cause don't you know you can't ever look back

That's the kind of love I'm waiting for

A love like that

She found herself nervous the day that train rolled back in town

Wondering if they were still the same people they were back then

Life has a way of leaving its mark on you

Could their two hearts find their way back again?

'Cause when you find a love like that, you give it all you got

It's full-speed ahead and you never stop

It flows through you like the wind

You'd better grab it 'cause it won't come around again

'Cause don't you know you can't ever look back

That's the kind of love I'm waiting for

A love like that

Well, I saw her looking at those old pictures today

After the war, raising all those kinds, almost 60 years together

And I smiled when I heard her say

"Honey, hold out for a love like that..."

'Cause when you find a love like that, you give it all you got

It's full-speed ahead and you never stop

It flows through you like the wind

You'd better grab it 'cause it won't come around again

'Cause don't you know you can't ever look back

That's the kind of love I'm waiting for

A love like that

'Cause when you find a love like that, you give it all you got

It's full-speed ahead and you never stop

It flows through you like the wind

You'd better grab it 'cause it won't come around again

'Cause don't you know you can't ever look back

That's the kind of love I'm waiting for

A love like that

And I smiled when I heard her say

"Honey, hold out for a love like that..."
