Question
"There was a country song I heard a couple of times on the radio about 5-7 years ago.  It is sung by a male.  It talks about seeing love and recognizing it for the first time, I believe.  I remember one set of lyrics where he talked about walking out his front door and seeing a young lady for the first time and the lyrics were "There it was, love"  Can you help?"

Answer
Hi Jeff!  I'm not sure if this is the song you had in mind, but with the phrase "There it was, love," the song that comes to mind to me is Jeff Bates' "The Love Song."  It was released in 2003 on his album "Rainbow Man."  Hope this helps!

"The Love Song" lyrics:

First time I felt it, think I was five years old
I was scared, had a nightmare
Momma was there for me to hold
Daddy, he was different, he never said it much
But I heard him loud and clear
When he brought home that ball and glove

Then it took on a brand new meaning
I wasn't just a boy no more
When she moved in next door

Where you from? What's your name?
Wanna go to my game?
Got the keys to my dad's old truck
Turn the radio on, still remember the song
We held hands and there it was love

Pages kept on turnin', there I was with someone else
First time in my lifetime, I wasn't livin' for myself
I knew I wasn't fallin', anywhere I'd fell before
This place was different, it was deeper, it was more

Then it took on a brand new meaning
Yeah, it was strong and it was true
Knew what I had to do

Found a ring, hit my knees
Couldn't talk, couldn't breathe
My heart had me all choked up
Said, "I do" as we cried
Wedding bells waved goodbye
The whole church knew it was love

Then it took on a brand new meaning
When the doctor said
"It's time to watch your miracle arrive"

Thank the Lord, cut the cord
Take her home, help her grow
And complete the circle of love

Love, love
That's the circle of love
Circle of love
Circle of love
