I once knew a girl
And I bought her a multi-coloured silk scarf
Every night when she went to bed
She wrapped the scarf around her shoulders
Eventually the scarf disintegrated
I don't know what became of the remnants of the scarf
I don't know what became of the girl
Is this what love is
Is this what love is
I knew a girl
And we always promised that if one of us was dying
We would hold hands
And if we were unable to speak
We would squeeze each others hands
Which would mean I love you
I wasn't there when she died
Is this what love is
Is this what love is
I knew a girl
Who bought me a piece of rose quartz
I kept the stone beneath my pillow
And every night before I went to sleep
I kissed the stone
I don't know what became of that stone
Is this what love is
Is this what love is
She left her T-shirt
On my bedroom floor
And when I went to bed
I picked up the shirt
And held it next to my skin
So I could feel her in my dreams
Is this what love is
Love is two names written in the sand
Is this what love is
Is this what love is
Is this what love is
