Verse One
There are fairy tales among us
They follow us most everyday
They tell us if we play our cards right
The perfect love will come our way

So we look high and low
And we search far and wide
Expect too much from each other
And wonder why we can’t make love survive

Chorus
There’s a love better than money
A love divine
There’s a love sweeter than honey
A love divine

Verse Two
David thought he found it with Bathsheba
So much so that he lost his mind
Samson never thought Delilah
Could be so cruel and so unkind

Still we look to the stars
And we search for that sign
But there’s no fortuneteller
That can lead us to this love divine

Chorus

And you’ll know it when you find it
So pure and fine
It’s the love that put God on the cross for me
And for you and the world

Bridge

Open up your eyes
See this love divine
Open up your eyes
See this love divine
Open up your eyes
See this love divine

Chorus
