Mark, Lyrics World does not have the chords, so I hope Joe will forgive me for posting the lyrics with chords here.
Also, I thought the song was too short, so I wrote some extra lyrics. (You could easily do the same, of course.)
THE GLORY OF LOVE
Billy Hill ©1926; Additional lyrics by Jeanene Pratt ©1997
G D D7 G
You've got to give a little, take a little
G7 C AM7 G
And let your poor heart break a little:
D D7 G
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little
Before the clouds roll by a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
. C Am7
As long as there's the two of us,
G D7 G
We've got the world and all its charms;
Cm A
And when the world is through with us,
A7 D D7
We've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
And always have the blues a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
Additional Lyrics:
You've got to sow a little, reap a little
And lose out on some sleep a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to stand firm a little, bend a little
And be a real true friend a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
When skies may not be fair for us,
And dreams just won't come true,
As long as we'll be there for us,
Love will see us through.
You've got to frown a little, smile a little
And go that extra mile a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to coo a little, whine a little,
And even walk that line a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to be strong a little, weak a little,
And turn the other cheek a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
When troubles seem to multiply,
The future is in doubt,
Together, darling, you and I,
We can work it out.
You've got to ebb a little, flow a little
And, more than all else, grow a little;
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
