Verse 1
D
I love You more than a slow-falling summer rain
D                                               G    Dsus/F#   Em7
More than a silence that only the snow leaves behind
  A        D
I love You more

D
And I love You better than the gray of the autumn air
D                                               G    Dsus/F#   Em7
Better than spring in its blooming against the sky
  A        D
I love You more


Chorus 1
   Em7        Dsus/F#    G     A
It may not be red as the roses yet
   Em7        Dsus/F#       G       A
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but
Em7          D/F#     G             A        D
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be


Verse 2
D
Your love is steady and sure as the mountains high
D                                        G    Dsus/F#   Em7
Moving my heart like a river that gently bends
     A       D
Your love is sure

D
Your love is wide open spaces where I can run
D                                                  G    Dsus/F#   Em7
And yet, we're tangled up roots in the warm broken earth
          A       D
Yeah, our love is sure


Chorus 2
       Em7        Dsus/F#      G       A
And it may not be clear as the morning yet
       Em7    Dsus/F#   G        A
It may not be wide as a restless sea but
Em7          D/F#     G             A        D
Love given freely becomes what it ought to be

It may not be wide as a restless sea

And it may not be red as the roses yet
   Em7        Dsus/F#       G       A
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but

Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
