Intro: Verse 1 It's just a little longer, my darling Each day I'm growing fonder of you You say you have your doubts about forever I say it's just June gloom Verse 2 (same as Verse 1) Remember that week we spent in Portland You almost said the words you find so frightening We can take it easy, there's no hurry We can slow it down, don't you worry When I see you, I see my future I know you don't see it yet Lover, let me paint a picture I'll show you just how far it is It's far away I never lied to you But I will say I'll walk beside you the whole way Verse 3. (same chords as Verse 1) I won't promise you something foolish I told you straight away it won't be easy Let me take that load off of your shoulders Let me make your heart a little lighter (Chorus) I'll walk beside you the whole way
