She knew his voice
'Cause he played songs on the radio
She never thought he'd fall for a poor girl
He made her blush 'cross the counter
At lunchtime every day
Had no idea she'd be the center of his whole world
And just one dance before that uniform
Made him go away
She held his picture every night
While she prayed
I want a love like that
Sweet and strong and built to last
Makes a believer out of me
The kind that won't give up
It'll stay true no matter what
'Cause it's the only thing I have
I want a love like that
It's been sixty years
Since they got married in the snow
Still makes her laugh, and he calls her his bride
And I watched them dance
Like they used to, just a little slower When I look in my life
I want a love like that
Sweet and strong and built to last
Makes a believer out of me
The kind that won't give up
It'll stay true no matter what
'Cause it's the only thing I have
I want a love like that
They had their chance to get lost in bigger things
But their life together was their only dream
Oh, I want a love like that
Sweet and strong and built to last
Makes a believer out of me
The kind that won't give up
It'll stay true no matter what
'Cause it's the only thing I have
I want a love like that
I want a love like that
