(Intro)
Love, Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
(Verse)
Me and My friend were walking
In the cold light mourning
Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived
In this world even winter ain't what it seems
(Prechorus)
G C
Here comes the blue skies, Here comes the springtime
G C
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
A
When everything that dies
C
Shall Rise
(Chorus)
Love, love, love, is stronger than death
Love, love, love, is stronger than death
(Interlude)
E-A-E-A
(Verse)
In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch
All the thoughts unuttered and all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath
But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak
How could you believe that the life within the seed
that grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried
Could ever lie
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
