Lyrics
Love Grows
He called her on the phone and she said yes
He's taking his time, he wants to look his best
He picked out a movie at the cineplex
Heavy on romance but light on sex
Down in the darkness in the third row right
There's a new couple falling in love tonight
Love grows
Just like in the theatre
She's a light in the dark
Love grows
From the first time you meet her
Till the last time you part
Through the freezing cold and the burning hot
Like a flower breaking through a parking lot
Love grows
The sun comes up and the time goes by
Some days they laugh, some nights they cry
The wolf came pounding at the door one day
But they leaned together and he went away
When the shadows dance on the walls at night
They turn to each other and hold on tight
Love grows
Like lightning and thunder
Love grows
An irresistible force
Love grows
Sometimes it's innocence and wonder
From that emotional source
Through the freezing cold and the burning hot
Like a flower breaking through a parking lot
Love grows
The sun goes down, it's getting late
The family's in town to celebrate
Fifty years married is a long, long road
But they wouldn't give it back
For silver or gold
He looks in her eyes and he thinks of how
Surprised they'd all be to know that even now
Love grows
And it just keeps getting stronger
Love grows
Till death do you part
Love grows
And it might go on even longer
Who can tell with the heart
Through the freezing cold and the burning hot
It's a flower breaking through a parking lot
Love grows
Love grows
