Longer

Words & Music:

Dan Fogelberg

 

G      Am7                GM7           C

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean,

Higher than any bird ever flew.

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens.

Bb           D7        G

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.

 

BRIDGE:

F          C    Eb     Bb

I'll bring fire in the winter.

You'll send showers in the spring.

We'll fly through the falls and summers

     D7

With love on our wings.

 

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow,

Burning lines through 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.

 

FIRST VERSE REPRISE:

 

Longer than there'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.
