Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
It would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sandThan for anyone to try to separate us or stop us from holding hands‘Cause I love you (I love you), oh I love you from the bottom of my heartWhat love has joined together, what love has joined togetherCan nobody take it apartIt would be easier to take the cold from the snow or the heat from fireThan for anyone to take me love from you ’cause you’re my heart’s desireI really love you (I love you), oh I love you from the bottom of my heartWhat love has joined together, what love has joined togetherCan nobody take it apartEven if they separate us a thousand miles apartWe will still be together in each other’s heartsIt would be easier to change all the seasons, baby of the yearThan for anyone to change the way I feel about you, I love you dearI really love you (I love you), I love you from the bottom of my heartWhat love has joined together, what love has joined togetherCan nobody take it apart
