How Will I Know
I asked my mother long ago
How will I know when it's time to fall in love?
How will I know?
When you hold a burning candle in your hand
And the light enters your heart through your eyes
Then you will know
I asked my mother long ago
How will I know when I'm falling in love?
How will I know?
She said you will feel like you own all the earth and sky
You'll see sparrows in the trees and tell yourself I too can fly
Then you will know
How will I know when I've found the right one to love?
When you see the sunset colors as you're standing all alone
And you say to yourself oh where is my darling one
I know my sweetheart so would love to see all this with me
Then you will know
I'm not looking for perfect love
Oh I know the truth
Time, we need more time
Life, it's just part of life
How will I know when my darling loves me?
How will I know when it's true?
When you hear your name gently spoken on your lover's breath
And it sounds like the music you want playing at your death
You'll know you knew
How will I know when it's time to leave love behind?
When your fingers cannot hold the burning flame
When you no can longer hear the sparrow's song
When all the sunset colors look wrong
When you turn your head away from the sound of your own name
Then you will know
Mother, oh dear mother tell me when
Do you think I'll ever fall in love again?
How will I know when it's time to fall in love?
How will I know?
When you hold a burning candle in your hand
And the light enters your heart through your eyes
Then you will know
I asked my mother long ago
How will I know when I'm falling in love?
How will I know?
She said you will feel like you own all the earth and sky
You'll see sparrows in the trees and tell yourself I too can fly
Then you will know
How will I know when I've found the right one to love?
When you see the sunset colors as you're standing all alone
And you say to yourself oh where is my darling one
I know my sweetheart so would love to see all this with me
Then you will know
I'm not looking for perfect love
Oh I know the truth
Time, we need more time
Life, it's just part of life
How will I know when my darling loves me?
How will I know when it's true?
When you hear your name gently spoken on your lover's breath
And it sounds like the music you want playing at your death
You'll know you knew
How will I know when it's time to leave love behind?
When your fingers cannot hold the burning flame
When you no can longer hear the sparrow's song
When all the sunset colors look wrong
When you turn your head away from the sound of your own name
Then you will know
Mother, oh dear mother tell me when
Do you think I'll ever fall in love again?
