I love You more than a slow-falling summer rain

I love You more

And I love You better than the gray of the autumn air

Better than spring in its blooming against the sky
A D
I love You more

Your love is steady and sure as the mountains high

Your love is sure

And yet, we're tangled up roots in the warm broken earth

Yeah, our love is sure
CHORUS 2
