I love you more than a slow-falling summer rain
More than a silence that only the snow leaves behind
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

I love you more

It may not be red as the roses yet

It may not be strong as the old oak trees but
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be


Your love is steady and sure as the mountains high
Moving my heart like a river that gently bends
Your love is sure


Your love is wide open spaces where I can run
And yet, we're tangled up roots in the warm broken earth

Yeah, our love is sure

And it may not be clear as the morning yet

It may not be wide as a restless sea but
Love given freely becomes what it ought to be


It may not be clear as the morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
And it may not be red as the roses yet

It may not be strong as the old oak trees but

Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to and

Hearts given freely becomes what they ought to
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
What it ought to be
