It’s hard to deny what my heart has to say; It’s been speaking pretty loudly these last few days; A future is unfolding before my eyes, And love has started growing. Love has started growing. It’s really pretty early to say for sure, But waiting is a pleasure just to be with her. Looking in her eyes is all I need Now that love has started growing Love has started growing. Bridge: Well, who’s to say just what will be? Tomorrow is a bit too much for me to see; But I can say with all confidence: A prize like this is well worth the wait— Worth her weight in gold…. Love’s a thing that starts so small, Then grows and grows and grows until it fills up all… A simple seed has now begun, And love has started growing And love has started growing.

Oh, what a job, what a job for such a little one, she’s such a little girl. Oh, what a load, for a little one like her to have to carry all alone. She’s a very special lady, with a very special love That she needs so very much to do her very special job: Taking care of special people, little babies, special ones, And she’s very special, ‘specially to me. Sometimes she’s so tired— I can see in it her eyes & in the way she walks. Oh, I’ve gotta help her— she’s so busy saving others, there’s no time to save herself. She’s a very special lady, with a very special love That she needs so very much to do her very special job: Taking care of special people, little babies, special ones, And she’s very special, ‘specially to me.

You have been my best friend, The one on whom I can depend To speak the truth even when it's hard, And truth is rarely easy You've passed the tests that I brought your way, And with flying colors, I must say; I failed you more than once or twice, But you held on to me. Chorus: So I'll go all the way with you Even when the skies are every shade but blue Through the storms, all the way I'll go with you You've proved that dreams are meant to be Just by showing up and loving me You filled my life with light and song For that and more, I thank you And every morn I open up my eyes And see you lying by my side I thank our God who sent you here To start the day with me Chorus: And I'll go all the way with you Even when the skies are every shade but blue Through the storms, all the way I'll go with you Bridge: Through the flowers, through the rain, Through the pleasures and the pain, Through the days and through the nights, Through the good times and the bad times I know we'll find the light Chorus: So I'll go all the way with you Even when the skies are every shade but blue; Through the storms, all the way; Through any door, any day; Towards the light of a better day, I'll go with you Through this life, into the next, I'll go with you

Honey, how I treasure each 'I love you', And cherish every moment you are near. Although I'll spend a life time thinking of you, To me this time around it's very clear: Jesus is my first Love, Just as He is yours; No matter how I love you, I'll always love Him more; That's the reason why, love, I loved you from the start: The One I love the dearest Is dearest to your heart; The One I love the dearest Is dearest to your heart.

The World may not be like it was when we were growing up Things move so fast, we have a hard time keeping up. Our lives have changed in so many ways and that's a fact, but love, yes love still makes the World go 'round. Presidents and governments have come and gone They've even changed some counties' names since we were young. Things have changed in so many ways and that's a fact, but love, Yes, love still makes the World go 'round. Bridge: All things change, but true love will never let you down, And when you're looking all around to find some solid ground, That's when love will search and seek you out, put an end to all your doubt And be a rock on which to stand The plans of peace we dreamed with ease when we were young Have turned to wars on distant shores and here at home. In a World where nothing's constant, you can rest assured that love, Yes, love still makes the World go 'round. [Repeat bridge] Well, the World may not be like it was when we were growing up Things move so fast, we have a hard time keeping up. In a World where nothing's constant, you can rest assured that love, Yes, love still makes the World go 'round. One thing never changes, that's the light and power of love. Yes, love still and always will, is destined to Make the World go 'round - 'round and 'round and 'round, 'Round and 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round and 'round.

I dreamed when I was young Of a better world for all; I tried to do my part, And live as if to say That love will reign one day. They fought it from the start, Said it could not be done, That men would never change And there could be no way That love would reign one day. Bridge: But I cannot accept, Much less believe we’re doomed to fail So I fight on ‘til we prevail I know some think me wrong “It’s foolish,” they may say; “The evidence is strong, The world has gone astray”-- But love WILL reign one day. They say “Don’t be naïve, They say, “Just open up your eyes;” But I choose to believe What all the prophets say That love will reign one day. Bridge: And I cannot accept, Much less believe we’re doomed to fail So I fight on ‘til we prevail I’m older and wiser now, But this remains unchanged: No matter what comes down, What evil they create, Or what they throw our way-- The light is sure to rise; We’ll see it plain as day Shining in all eyes, When Love is come to stay
