This is a good old song but it was significantly easier than
I expected. BTW, Happy Birthday to Dansm! I turned twenty
today (11-25-97). Anyway, enjoy the song and have fun playin!

LYRICS:
play intro
Longer than ther'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
INTERLUDE
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wing
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
I'll be in love with you
INSTRUMENTAL
play interlude tab
Longer than ther'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
play ending
