Longer - John Ford Coley

Longer than there’ve been fishes

in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there’ve been stars

up in the heavens

I’ve been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral

Truer than any tree ever grew

Deeper than any forest primeval

I am in love with you.

I’ll bring fires in the winters

You’ll send showers in the springs

We’ll fly through the falls and summers

With love on our wings.

Through the years as the fire

starts to mellow

Burning lines in the book of our lives

Though the binding cracks and the

pages start to yellow

I’ll be in love with you.

Longer than there’ve been fishes

in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there’ve been stars

up in the heavens

I’ve been in love with you

I am in love with you.
