That Is the Way I Will Always Love You

The way my heart beats
Whenever you are around

The way you love me
Without making a sound

The way you hold me tight
When my ship runs aground

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way the river flows
Into the sea

The way color beautifies
The cool mountains fall trees

The way the sight of you
Sometimes buckles my knees

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way the suns rays pour down
To warm the earth

The way joy belongs
At the heart of new birth

The way I'm loving you
For all I am worth

"That is the way I will always love you"

The way you hold me close
When I am in pain

The way you kiss me gently
And then kiss me again

The way I will always be here
Through the sun and the rain

"That is the way I will always love you"
