Love is the Work

Intro]

(Soft, syncopated acoustic guitar chords. A gentle brush on the drums.)

Love is a garden, love is a task

It’s more than the questions that we ask

Don’t just tell me that the feeling is true

Words are just whispers in a sky of blue

Love takes work to make it grow

It’s a seed in the ground that we have to sow.

Don’t just say it, show me it’s real

Show me the rhythm of the way that you feel

Work together on the bridge we build

Until every promise is finally fulfilled

Let go of the shadows, let go of the gray

Love is the work we do every day.

We’ve got to undo the things in our past

Break all the chains that weren’t meant to last

Heal the old wounds and let the light in

This is where the real love begins.

Love is everything...

Don't just say it, baby.

Show me.

(Final soft guitar strum)
