A              D
Where it began, I can’t begin to know when
A                            E
But then I know it’s growing strong

A                 D
Was in the Spring, then Spring became the Summer.
A                              E
Who’d have believed you’d come along?

We fill it up with only two

A               D
And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulders
A                           E
How can I hurt when holding you?
