Love is everything It's a whole lot more than going to the store for a wedding ring It's kissing' and a hugging' but it's also the kicking and the cussing thing I've been told Love is everything It's a smile on your face on a cold winter day at the thought of spring It's getting up at night for the cry of a little bitty baby thing And it's growing old Love is everything It's those fires that daddy stoked those nights to keep you warm It's the hell your mama went through the day you were born And it's a thunderstorm verse - same chords as above Love is everything Oh, it's going off to war, it's the back and forth on a front porch swing It's the kiss that you got in the old parking lot of the dairy queen And it's you and me Love is everything It's looking out for everybody else but number one And it's all that really matters when all's said and done And the race is run Love is everything It's a rose on a stone, it's the words in a song that the choir sings It's the tears of goodbye and the place that you fly to, to get your wings Yeah love's the king Love is everything Love is everything
