I used to try to stand alone
Walk through this world on my own
Never thought I needed help from anyone
So proud, so unafraid
I lived by the mistakes I made
Never stopped to think 'til the damage was done
When you came along my hopes were running low
But you've made me strong
Taught me how to trust someone,
To carry on, and now I know
That's what love can do
When you're down on your knees
It'll reach out for you
Lift you up and pull you through
Oh it's true, that's what love can do
I wish everybody else could find
A love as sweet as yours and mine
I know they'd understand what I'm trying to say
Just trust your heart and be strong
'Til that right one comes along
You know it happens, it happens every day
One day you're lost and shivering out in the cold
Next day you find
Somebody's taken hold of your heart and soul
And then you'll know
That's what love can do
When you're down on your knees
It'll reach out for you
Lift you up and pull you through
Oh it's true, that's what love can do
It'll take a hold of your heart and soul
And then you'll know
That's what love can do
