Verse 1

G C

I remember the first time I saw you

G D

Standing there in the cold morning dew

Em C G

I was broken and beat, I was tired and blue

D

But I knew I’d spend my whole life lovin’ you

Chorus

And I’ll love you over and over

C G

Promise I’ll always be holdin’ your hand

D Em C

Nothing will ever come over or under

G

The promise I made you back when this all began

Verse 2

G C

I remember the first time I held you

Told you that I’d never forget

All the things that you said in the mornin’ in bed

And I ain’t broke a promise I made to you yet

Chorus

And I’ll love you over and over

Nothing will ever come over or under

The promise I made you back when this all began

I’ll be there to tell you all the things that you know

And if the world starts spinnin’ and you can’t find the ground

D Em C

I’ll be the roots you’re standing on when no one’s around

Verse 3

G C

I remember the first time I lost you

Felt like the whole world caved right in

I was drinkin’ and thinkin’ and wishin’ on stars

Prayin’ to God you’d come back here again
