Lyrics

The (Cm7)pow er of love (F)is a cu ri ous thing;

change a hawk to a (F)lit tle white dove.

More than a feel ing, that’s the (Bb)pow er (F)of love.

(F)Tough er than dia monds, it might rich like cream;

(Cm7)strong er and hard er (F)than a bad girl’s dream.

Make a bad one good, (F)mm, make a wrong one right.

Pow er of love that keep (F)you home at night.

You it don’t need mon ey, don’t (F)take fame.

Don’t (C)need no cred it card to (F)ride this (F)train.

It’s (C)strong and it’s sud den It can be and it’s (F)cruel some (F)times.

But it (Bb)might just (F)save your (G)life.

That’s the pow er of (Cm7)love.

That’s the pow (F)er of (Cm7)love.

(F)First time you feel it, it might make you sad.
