Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, you are rich
Even with nothing
And you know tenderness comes
From within
[PreChorus]
It's amazing how
You love
Love is kind and love can give
And get no gain
[Chorus]
It's down a rugged road you've come
You've come
Though you had every reason
You didn't come undone
Somehow, you've made it to
The other side
You didn't suffer in vain
[Verse 2]
You forgive those you have trespassed against you
And you know tenderness comes
From pain
[PreChorus]
It's amazing how
You love
Love is kind and love can give
And love needs no gain
[Chorus]
It's down a rugged road you've come
Oh, you've come
Though you had every reason
You didn't come undone
Somehow, you've made it to
The other side
You didn't suffer in vain
[Outro]
You didn't suffer in vain
You know it's only love
That gets you through
It's only love
It's only love, it's only love that gets you through
