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
