Lyrics

I re mem ber well the day we wed, I can (C)see that pic ture in my head.

I still be lieve the words we said

(Am7)for ev er will ring true.

(G)Love is cer tle tain, and a (D)love is kind, ask,

an (C)love is yours and (G)love is mine.

But it (C)is n’t some thing that we find,

it’s (Am7)some thing that we do.

It’s hold ing tight, the let ting go, I it’s (C)fly ing high and lay ing low.

I Let your strong est feel ings show

(Am7)for and your weak ness, too.

(G)It’s a lit tle tain, and a (D)lot to kind, ask,

an (C)end less and a (G)wel come task.

But Love (C)is n’t some thing that we have,

it’s (Am7)some thing that we do.

It’s

We help to make each oth er all

that we can be,

though we can (Am7)find our strength and in spi ra tion

in de pen dent ly.

The (C)way we work to geth er is what sets our (G)love a part,

so close ly that we can’t tell where I (Am7)end and where you (D)start.

It (G)gives me heart, re mem b’ring how we start ed with a sim ple vow.

There’s so much to look back on now.

Still it feels brand new.

We’re (G)on a road that has no end, and each day we be gin a gain.

Love’s (C)not just some thing that we’re in,

it’s (Am7)some thing that we do.

(Am7)end and where you (D)start.

(G)Love is wide,

(D)love is long,

(C)love is deep and love is strong.

Love is why I love this song.

(Am7)I hope you love it, too.

I re (G)mem ber well the day we wed, I can (C)see that pic ture in my head.

Love (C)is n’t just those words we said,

it’s (Am7)some thing (D7sus)that we do.

There is (C)no re quest too (G)big or small.

We give our selves, we give our all.

Love (Am7)is n’t some place (G)that (Bm)we (C)fall, it’s (Am7)some thing (D)that we (G)do.
