You Know That Feeling

You know that feeling when the candle's lit
Like you're trying a shoe and it's a perfect fit
You know that feeling like you're about to fly
Raising your wings and soaring into the sky

You know that feeling like smelling a rose
That sweet fragrance that tingles your toes
You know that feeling when you feel like jumping
When he holds your hand and your heart starts thumping

You know that feeling you haven't felt for a while
Adoring his laugh that makes you smile
You know that feeling, that sweet emotion
Like you just drank a powerful potion

You know that feeling when you start to feel stupid
And you know that you've been hit by Cupid
You know that feeling that's all the above
You know that feeling when you're simply in love
