BRIDGE I find comfort in believing Over time, I’ll come to see, someday How love could be that way V3 Love is a beautiful thing Winter’s rage has blossomed into spring Love is a beautiful thing And on your hand I see that there’s a ring And I would understand, if I had put that ring upon your hand But it was not me, you see, so how could that be a thing of beauty?
