His name was August
And he came in like a flood
He whirled around and round
And drowned me up in every kind of love

He took me over
He took me to the world
He took me in and out and up
Until I was a different girl

That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'Cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end

He stands right beside me
But he's farther than the Sun
But his light still keeps me warm
It still keeps me burned

That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'Cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
And now that it's over
All I can seem to think
Is how to love someone with
Every part of me

'Cause that's what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'Cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end

That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'Cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
