Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh what a love
That'll bind the wounds of a loss
And heal my heart
Oh what a love
To cast away the pain
Oh what a love
That'll bear for me the cost
Of a brand new start
Oh what a love
To let me begin again
[Verse 2]
Oh what a life
That'll brighten up the corners of a lonely life
Oh what a life
To cast away the rain
Oh what a life
To remove the gloom I face in the dark alone
Oh what a life
I believe I can see again
[Verse 3]
I remember the day
We walked on the beach till sunset
Then we sang
And the songs we played were a promise
Of love that'll last beyond the grave
[Verse 4]
Oh what a song
Learned from the sea
Taught slowly to the young
Oh what a song
To cast away the rain
Oh what a song
To break the bonds of fear and still the sound
Oh what a song
I believe I can sing again
[Verse 5]
I remember the day
We met at a place of hope
I took what you gave
And the words we'd say were a promise of love
That'll honor beyond the grave
[Verse 6]
Oh what a love
That'll bind the wounds of a loss
And heal my heart
Oh what a love
To cast away the pain
Oh what a love
That'll bear for me the cost
Of a brand new start
Oh what a love
To let me begin again
[Verse 7]
Oh what a love
Oh what a life
Oh what a song
