Lyrics

[00:09.25] You don't know what love is
[00:16.66] until you've learned the meaning of the Blues.
[00:22.57] Until you've loved a love you had to lose:
[00:30.02] You don't know what love is.
[00:38.02] You don't know how lips burn
[00:46.66] until you've kissed and had to pay the cost;
[00:53.55] Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost:
[01:01.74] You don't know what love is.
[01:08.13] Do you know how a lost heart fears
[01:15.70] the thought of reminiscing?
[01:21.42] And how lips that taste of tears
[01:29.37] lose their taste for kissing.
[01:35.82] You don't know how hearts ache
[01:42.58] for love that cannot live yet never dies,
[01:49.71] Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes:
[01:57.56] You don't know what love is.
[02:59.70] Do you know how a lost heart fears
[03:06.60] the thought of reminiscing?
[03:12.24] And how lips that taste of tears
[03:20.09] lose their taste for kissing.
[03:26.07] You don't know how hearts ache
[03:33.11] for love that cannot live yet never dies,
[03:40.18] Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes:
[03:47.24] NO You don't know what love is.
