[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
G D7
If I was the sun, way up there,
C G
I'd go with love, most everywhere.
G D7
I'll be the moon, when the sun goes down,
C G
Just to let you know, that I'm still around.
[Chorus 1]
G D7
That's how strong my love is,
C G
Oh, that's how strong my love is.
G D7
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby,
C G
That's how strong my love is.
[Verse 2]
G D7
I'll be the weeping willow, drowning in my tears,
C G
You can go swimming, when you're here.
G D7
I'll be the rainbow, when the sun is gone,
C G
Wrap you in my colours and keep you warm.
[Chorus 2]
G D7
That's how strong my love is, darling,
C G
That's how strong my love is, baby.
G D7
That's how strong my love is, ooh,
C G
That's how strong my love is.
[Bridge 1]
Em C
I'll be the ocean, so deep and wide,
Em C
I'll get out the tears, when-ever you cry.
Em C
I'll be the breeze, after the storm is gone,
D
To dry your eyes and love you warm.
[Chorus 3]
G D7
That's how strong my love is, baby,
C G
That's how strong my love is.
G D7
That's how strong my love is, darling,
C G
That's how strong my love is.
[Coda]
G D7
That's how strong my love is, so deep in,
C G
Well, that's how strong my love is.
G D7
So much love, yes, so much love, ooh,
C G
Yes, so much love, yes, so much love.
G D7
Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,
C G
Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you...
