Granddaddy always said When he was seventeen He met the girl The one in all his dreams And man, that was it He never once looked back He'd found somethin' He just knew was gonna last And if you ask him 'bout that day He'll just tap his chest and say That's how you know When it grabs a hold of you and won't let go And you feel like she's always been in your soul And as time goes by, she's still surprisin' you That's how you know it's true When a new love feels old and an old love feels new He said, I walked up to her door And I was shakin' like a leaf There on her porch 'Til she flashed that smile at me And son, she took my breath away And she still does to this day That's how you know When it grabs a hold of you and won't let go When you feel like she's always been in your soul And as time goes by, she's still surprisin' you That's how you know it's true When a new love feels old and an old love feels new ♪ Now I finally see just what it means 'Cause that's how I feel now that you're with me And that's how I know 'Cause you've grabbed a hold of me and won't let go And it feels like you've always been in my soul That's how you know When it grabs a hold of you and won't let go When you feel like she's always been in your soul And as time goes by, she's still surprisin' you That's how you know it's true When a new love feels old and an old love feels new
