G Em Am D / G Em C D

I’ve heard it said that first love is the sweetest and the best love
Everything is startling, fresh and new
And you stand wide eyed and thank your lucky stars that it has found you
And wonder at how someone loves you too

And I’ve heard it said that deep love comes with holding on in hard times
That only sharing hard times shows you’re true
That if you hold together and can laugh at what befalls you
That your love can last until your lives are through

C D x 2 / G Em D x 2
C D x 2 / G Em D x 2

But sometimes fate is cruel and all the love we had is taken
And we are all alone and wondering why
Aching and confused and seeing all our plans forsaken
Staring at the unforgiving sky

And then somewhere in the darkness like a lighthouse that is gleaming
There is someone who is searching just like you
And without even intending there you stand like you are dreaming
Holding on to hope that it is true

Now I know that late love can be as sweet and full as young love
After all the hard times we’ve been through
After all those years of learning how, to trust our hearts we’re standing now
You look into my eyes and I look at you

Clinging on

All the words that flow out of you Seem to seek a thought that is deep and true
