Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery
I stood the test of time
And took the step to find
Love's great adventure
[Verse 2]
I spoke a million words
They didn't mean that much to me
They rang around my head
Like empty tuneless harmonies
Love's great adventure's mine
[Verse 3]
Lying side by side
It didn't mean that much to me
I started to enjoy
The poetry and symphonies
I took it in my stride
And hailed the day I tried
Love's great adventure
[Verse 4]
A fool who couldn't see
It didn't mean that much to me
I couldn't understand
That's how the game is meant to be
Love's great adventure's mine
[Verse 5]
My great adventure
Love's great adventure
Love's great adventure, oh
[Verse 6]
Standing on my own
It didn't mean that much to me
I thought I had it all
I didn't see the mystery
I stood the test of time
And took the step to find
Love's great adventure's mine
