[Verse 1]
When you feel the pain of loneliness inside you
And you feel the emptiness that lives within
When all the things around you had no meaning
And the lips you loved can kiss you once and then

[Chorus]
That's when love (love) will mean the most
That's when love (love) will hold you close
To the lips you love to touch
And the things that mean so much
That's when love (that's when love) will mean the most

[Verse 2]
When you see a gentle smile from one that loves you
I feel a softness in the touch of love's sweet hand
Or just reminiscing back through childhood mem'ries
Of days gone by that can't return again

[Chorus]
That's when love (love) will mean the most
That's when love (love) will hold you close
To the lips you love to touch
And the things that mean so much
That's when love (that's when love) will mean the most
