Lyrics
- Love will grow, and nothing comes in the way,
- It's true that love is here to stay;
- All we have to do is to face tomorrow.
- Love will grow; there's no need to run and hide,
- It's true we've always been so slow–
- Should I tell you now what's been burning inside?
- Darling, strange days are over,
- Fears and tears, they're all gone.
- This is the very beginning–
- Now, the world is meant for you and me.
- Love will grow; there's one thing I'm sure of now:
- I know that we'll get no more sighs,
- Love is to us true-blue, and there's no sorrow.
- Love will grow; come what may, we'll never part.
- Let's hold on tight to dreams of ours,
- Even though we've still got a long way to go...
- Darling, strange days are over,
- Fears and tears, they're all gone.
- This is the very beginning–
- Now, the world is meant for you and me.
- See how the day has just broken,
- Oh, so fresh from the world
- See how the brand new sun's coming up–
- Let it now...shine on me!
- Shine on you...shine on me!
- Love will grow, and nothing comes in the way,
- It's true that love is here to stay;
- All we have to do is to face tomorrow!
