A                       E           A
Sometimes I recall what others have said
                      D             A
Love is for lovers in love and full grown,
               D                          E
Life's for the living and death's for the dead,
        D          A          E        A
And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown.

    A                   E              A
Sometimes when I get to thinking about you,
                        D           A
And all the things that we've never said
                   D                       E
To each other, it seems such a shame to go blue
             D       A            E          A
When there's so many years to lie silent and dead.

A                 E         A
I know, you know, all about life.
                  D          A
You know, I know, nothing at all.
          D                   E
Still why should I know daily strife
         D             A             E           A
When the touch of your hand makes me glad I'm so small.

A                         E             A
Time brings us trouble as days come and go.
                 D         A
I know, you know I'll understand.
        D                  E
Could you, would you suffer a woe,
       D             A       E              A
When a blink of your eye and I'm at your command.

D                         A         D
Think of the years before we were a pair,
                           G           D
Years lived apart we spent learning to farm.
        G           Bm          A
Sowing, growing and learning to care
       Bm             D          A            D   E
For ourselves, and preparing for each other's arms.

A                        E              A
Love is a flower, blooms when we're too young;
                     D         A
Pluck it, it's gone, tended it grows.
                             D                E
We've been tending since the first sprout was sprung 
       D            A           E            A
To the most patient farmer, the best harvest goes.

A                       E           A
Sometimes I recall what others have said
                      D             A
Love is for lovers in love and full grown,
               D                          E
Life's for the living and death's for the dead,
        D          A          E        A      A E A
And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown.
