Story Behind The Song

Life --difficulties, good times-- instructs us on the very few things that are worth everything. With loved ones who share this vision, in spite of all the bad news (and there's plenty of it) we can do an AWFUL LOT together, and can survive the worst. Let's do it!

Song Description

Love, fidelity, virtue, commitment, principles, loyalty, courage, faith...all of these, and others like them, are "the things of the heart" will outlast the Earth, the Sun, and just about anything else!

Lyrics

If I love you, and you love me,
We could walk together down the road merrily,
Leaping in the sunshine, dancing in the rain,
Thankful for good times, sharing the pain.

Climbing the mountains to view the wide world,
Together, no foe will assail;
Fording the river, crossing the sea,
Together, we will prevail!

We'll stoop to serve, and bend the knee,
Giving loving help and kind attention generously
To the poor and needy, and the down and out,
'Cause that's what 'I love you' is all about!

And when they tell us, "You're doing it all wrong!",
We'll answer, "Try singing this song!"
'Cause even if the whole world falls apart,
We'll count on the things of the heart.

And though we age, and we wear out,
We will strive to share what we've been given everywhere:
Pointing folks to Heaven, showing them the way
To live life, to love life, to serve and to pray.

Some scientists tell you life's the product of a chance--
A good way to kill the romance!
For true love defies any effort to explain;
Like mercy, it falls in the rain!
