Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Hey
Like a rose under the April snow, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I was always certain love would grow, oh
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Every day a new beginning oh

Darling, do you know you make my spirits rise?
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
Ooh, they warm and excite us, oh
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
(Time) Time, we've learned to sail above, oh, oh
(Time) Time won't change the meaning of, one love
Ageless and ever (ever, ever)
