[Intro]
F#m E D A Bm A5
[Verse 1]
F#m D A
Mighty as the river flows
D E F#m D A
Patient as a flower as she grows
D E F#m Bm A
Love takes time, the road forever winds
B D E
But always leads me back to you
D E F#m D A
I guess I always knew all this
D E F#m D A
I could see the future in that first kiss
D E F#m Bm A
And touch by touch our love would grow
B D E
But it would take some time before we'd know
[Chorus]
A E
Start the music, light the candles
F#m C#m
Take me back to lace and sandals
D A
Two scared kids standing at the altar
Bm C#m D
Trying to look grown up on that first day
F#m D E
On our way to everlasting love
[Verse 2]
D E F#m D A
It's funny how the times race by
D E F#m D A
Days turn into years in the blink of an eye
D E F#m Bm A
Through triumph and tears, through time and tide
B D E
You've always made my heart stand still
[Chorus]
A E
Start the music, light the candles
F#m C#m
Take me back to lace and sandals
D A
Two scared kids standing at the altar
Bm C#m D
Trying to look grown up on that first day
A
On our way to everlasting love
[Bridge]
F C
On mainstreet down backroads
Dm Em
We traveled light to ease the load
F C
With just our love and a tattered road map
Bm E
And faith to guide us home
[Chorus]
A E
Start the music, light the candles
F#m C#m
Renew our vows in lace and sandals
D A
Those same two kids trembling at the altar
G E
Are standing strong and tall
[Solo]
A E
F#m C#m
D A
Bm Bm C5
[Bridge]
Bb F
Now we thank you for this dream we're living
Gm Dm
Clinging to what life has given
D# Bb Cm Dm
We sing the song we heard from high above
D#
On that first day, on our way to everlasting...
[Outro]
Gm F D# Bb
...love
Cm F Bb
Ooh, everlasting love.
