You can't buy it off a shelf or learn it from a book You won't find it in a store, no matter how hard you look It ain't as easy as that It doesn't happen overnight, it's not an ordinary thing I think you would agree, this love with you and me Is more than that It's faithful as the changing of the seasons Sweeter than a honeysuckle rose Sacred as the innocence of children And rare as summer snow It's a sound of your voice The tender touch of your hand The trust in your eyes that makes me understand That what we have It's steady as a farmer's rain in April Solid as a feeling in your bones Truer than the wisdom of a grandpa And rare as summer snow It's timeless as the smile on Mona Lisa Deeper than a miner digs for coal Stronger than the mighty Mississippi And rare as summer snow
