  (/F) [G] [Dsus4]/[F#] [Em7] [A]
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
(whistling)
(whistling)
 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  become  what they ought  to and
Love  planted deeply  becomes  what it ought  to be
 What it ought to be
