I Love You Like
This song was written about Gabe's great grandparents who have been hugely influential in our lives. Their generosity and never-failing involvement has been obvious every single day of our married lives. They love like it keeps them alive. Actually, I think it really does. And the best part of it is how their actions have influenced our children to be loving and generous as well. Love, like a good seed, just keeps on fruiting and spreading to new ground. God bless Granny and Granddad!

I can see the end of summer in the roses
E D E B7
I can watch the daylight fading from the sky
A B7 E A
Now is the revelling moment of our glory
B7 E
Before the ending takes us by surprise
A B7 E A
Now while our lives are blooming. . .blooming like a garden. .
E D B7 E
I will love you… like love keeps us alive.
E D E B7
I can see the fading colors of our beauty
E D E B7
In every enterprise the end of gain
A B7 E A
But some who’ve gone before us live forever
B7
In the way they loved me with the time they gave
A B7 E A
And I’m richer, and they’re richer — we’re both richer in the bargain
E D B7 E
‘Cause love self-sows… to live another day.
A B7 E A
Oh God, I know that loving is… loving is forever
B7
And your love is the never-fading sky
A B7 E A
I have forgotten my fear of every ending
E D B7 E
Living like love… love is the breath of life.
E D B7 E
I will love you… like love keeps us alive.
