Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Hey
Like a rose under the April snow, oh yeah oh yeah
I was always certain love would grow, oh
Love ageless and evergreen (ever, ever, green and seldom seen)
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Everyday a new beginning oh
Everyday a beginning
Darling do you know you make my spirits rise
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
Ooh they warm and excite us oh
'Cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
(Time) Time we've learned to sail above oh oh
(Time) Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever (ever, ever)
Evergreen (evergreen)
