Lyrics

[Chorus]

I have known love and love has won

I burned my fingers on the sun

I have known love and love has won

I burned my fingers on the sun

[Verse 1]

I've been imprisoned in the moon

I've been imprisoned in the moon

I have known love and love has won

And I have learned what truth denies

I drank the teardrops from her eyes

I have learned what truth denies

I drank the teardrops from her eyes

[Verse 2]

And I surrendered much too soon

I surrendered much too soon

I have learned what truth denies

I never heard the warning voice

I never knew I had a choice

I never heard the warning voice

I never knew I had a choice

[Verse 3]

Though I never wanted to return

I never wanted to return

I never heard the warning voice

But I have sailed upon the boat

That flew when there was room to float

But I have sailed upon the boat

That flew when there was room to float

[Verse 4]

And I drank out of the magic urn

And I drank out of the magic urn

As I sailed upon the boat

And I have slept inside the shade

Encircled by the love we made

And I have slept inside the shade

Encircled by the love we made

[Verse 5]

I have kissed the face of dreams

Yes, I've kissed the face of dreams

I've slept inside the shade

And I have ridden on the glow

That warms the sky with a rainbow

I have ridden on the glow

That warms the sky with a rainbow

[Verse 6]

And I have waded in its golden streams

I have waded in its golden streams

I have ridden on the glow

And I have danced between the stars

With music sung by sweet guitars

And I have danced between the stars

With music sung by sweet guitars

[Verse 7]

I've done some things that can't be done

I've done some things that can't be done

I've danced between the stars

And I have smiled inside the storm

Reaching higher to keep warm

And I have smiled inside the storm

Reaching higher to keep warm

[Chorus]

I've known love and love has won

I've known love and love has won

I have smiled inside the storm

I burned my fingers on the sun
