"More Than Love "

“More Than Love”

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1)

We started out with stars in our eyes,

Holding hands, chasing a brand-new life.

Thought a ring and a vow was enough to see us through,

But the years have a way of teaching the truth.

(Chorus)

’Cause love is not the only ingredient,

To make a marriage heaven-sent.

It takes patience, it takes grace,

Forgiveness time and time again.

Through the hard times, we’ve learned what it takes—

Yes, it takes more than love.

(Verse 2)

We’ve seen the storms and we’ve felt the rain,

We’ve faced the laughter and we’ve faced the pain.

But standing together, side by side,

We’ve built a life no trial could divide.

(Chorus)

’Cause love is not the only ingredient,

To make a marriage heaven-sent.

It takes patience, it takes grace,

Forgiveness time and time again.

Through the hard times, we’ve learned what it takes—

Yes, it takes more than love.

(Bridge)

It takes faith when the nights feel long,

And holding on when the road feels wrong.

It takes trust in the vows we made,

And a prayer to guide us every day.

(Final Chorus / Outro)

’Cause love is not the only ingredient,

To make a promise permanent.

It takes courage, it takes faith,

And a willin’ heart to stay.

Love is the start, but the truth we’ve found—

It takes more than love to keep us bound.
