    I was alone thinkin' I was just fine
    I wasn't lookin' for anyone to be mine
    I thought love was just a fabrication
    A train that wouldn't stop at my station
    Home, alone, that was my consignment
    Solitary confinement
    So when we met I was getting around you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    'Cause there you stood and I would
    Oh, I wonder could I say what I felt and not be misunderstood?
    A thousand stars came into my system
    I never knew how much I had missed them
    Slap on my map of my heart you landed
    I was coy but you made me candid
    And now the planets circle around you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you, baby
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    So we build from here with love the foundation
    In a world with tears one consolation
    Now you're here there's a full brass band
    Playin' in me like a wonderland
    And if you left I would be two-foot small
    And every tear would be a waterfall
    Soundless boundless I surround you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I just didn't know
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you, baby
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    I just didn't know
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    Until I found you, baby
    I didn't know I was looking for love
    I didn't know I was looking for love

    Literalmente vengo buscando este temazo desde marzo de 2020😊
    Horas buscando este tema en listas de reproducción de musica de los 90s y 2000s... y no encontraba nada.
    Encontraba canciones muy similares... pero nunca esta.
    Esta mañana en la radio del supermercado empezo a sonar, y gracias a shazam pude saber cual era la cancion.
    Las primera veces que la escuche yo no tenia un telefono con mucho espacio... por lo tanto se me dificultaba tener shazam.
    Y pensar que el mundo y nuestras vidas cuando conocí esta canción y empecé a buscarla... era muy distinto a lo que es hoy.

    Its always difficult to explain the emptiness of modern creativity to todays young generations...the only way i can put it in words is that from somewhere around the 70's to about the turn of the millennium, we all lived taking the arts for granted and thinking that, not only would things continue to be amazing, but that things would actually get better in the same upwards trajectory as we'd known the past three decades. Unfortunately the very thing(the internet) that allows us to enjoy these same arts so conveniently has stifled all creativity in the newest generations and something special has been utterly lost...now, generally speaking, people simply consume instead of create. I'd give away all modern conveniences to get back to the feeling of experiencing truly special new music, movies, etc. I'll shut up now...amazing track.

    Ich liebe es immer noch ❤
    Fluffig leicht verträumt 🫠
    Es kam heraus kurz bevor ich meinem Mann begegnete.
    Lieben uns nach 25 Jahren mehr denn je ❤
