We've got the sun and the earth and the sea


I’ve got you

And you’ve got me

And we’ve got the sun and the earth and the sea

A sun to smile down on you

An earth to hold fast to

A sea to dream about

 

I’ve got you

And you’ve got me

And we’ve got the grass and the soil and the trees

The grass to be our pillow

The soil to be our bed

The trees that are pillars to bear up the sky

 

I’ve got you

And you’ve got me

And we’ve got the clouds and the birds and the bees

The clouds to drop tears on the dry earth below

The birds to sing songs about things we don’t know

The bees to hum along

 

I’ve got you

And you’ve got me

And we’ve got a mouth and our hands and our knees

A mouth to sing praises

Our hands to bear each other’s burdens

Knees to bow before our Maker

 

I’ve got you

And you’ve got me

And we’ve got it all

Wouldn’t you agree?
