(Keith Sewell)

I took my mark for the sounding of the gun
The challenge for your heart had just begun
I never knew I would cross the finish line
I gave it all for the chance to make you mine.

From the word love I knew I won the race
From the word love I came out in first place
From the word love my dreams were comin true
All because of you, you cheered me through from the word love.

I'm learnin' what it really means to win
Sometimes I think if I could do it all again
I'd run the race and try for record time
Never looking back just your lovin' on my mind.

From the word love I knew I won the race
From the word love I came out in first place
From the word love yy dreams were comin true
All because of you you cheered me through from the word love...
