142 - Perhaps Love
Verse 1
Per-haps love is like a rest-ing place,
A shel-ter from the storm;
It ex-ists to give you com-fort,
It is there to keep you warm;
And in those times of trou-ble
When you are most a-lone,
The mem-o-ry___of love will bring you home.___
Verse 2
Per-haps love is like a win-dow,
Per-haps an o-pen door;
It in-vites you to come clos-er,
It wants to show you more;
And e-ven if you lose your-self
And don't know what to do,
The mem-o-ry ___ of love__ will see you through.
Bridge
(Tenor Bass sing harmony) Oh, love to some is like a cloud,
To some as strong as steel;
For some a way of liv-ing, ___
For some a way to feel;
And some say love is hold-ing on___
And some say let-ting go;
And some say love is ev-'ry-thing,
Some say they don't know. ___
Verse 3
Per-haps love is like the o-cean,
Full of con-flict, full of pain;
Like a fire ___when it's cold out-side,
Or thun-der when it rains;
If I should live for-ev-er,
And all my dreams come true,___
My mem-o-ries ___ of love__ will be of you.
