How Long I've Loved

I've loved you since the day

When nothing else made sense to me.

That's how long I've loved.

I've loved you since the first time I saw your

Green eyes and square jaw.

Thats how long I've loved.

But I trust without question,

Which makes this pain a repeat lesson.

Now love with my whole heart:

Is that a fault or is it smart?

I try not to rush judgement

Or make assumptions.

This fire tongue has got me on my toes for nothing.

[chorus]

Cause my home has a heartbeat.

My home is my best friend.

Home is all I need.

And I'll need him to the end.

X2

All you gotta do to keep my heart is

Tell the truth when it's hard

All I gotta do to keep your love is

Learn to control my fire tongue.

Well some of my best and worst days you have seen.

You've had my back through everything.

Some of your best and worst days I have seen,

But darling I wouldn't change a thing.

[chorus]x2

Oh, look how far we've come.

See how long we've loved.

X2

I question every little piece of me

When I don't fit the mold.

That's not my story,

And damn it's getting old.

I'm perfect in this moment

In all that I am.

And I remind myself,

As often as I can.

We both have work to do -

And not just me and not just you.

This love ain't no accident.

It takes work and it takes practice.

Oh, it takes work and it takes practice.

[chorus]

I've loved you since the day

When nothing else made sense to me.

That's how long I've loved.

I've loved you since the first time

I saw your green eyes and square jaw.

That's how long I've loved.

I've loved you since we first started chasing our dreams.

Look at us now we have everything we need.

I've got you, and you've got me

We have everything we need.

That's how long we've loved.

Look how long we've loved.

That's how long I've loved.
