Surprised they aren't here. Is there another search site/ engine that has a lot of these songs?

Thanks,

    The Glory Of Love
  
    Five Foot Two
  

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.

(The D7 is a pick-up--one measure between slash marks, play 4 counts or downstrokes for each measure, 2 for each chord--)

(For anyone who's confused, my name is Jeanene and my mudcat handle is "Genie.")

In case you were wondering, the chords I posted actually are in the right positions. That is, some chord changes at the end of a line occur before the first word of the next line.

Your chords look good, Ted. I'm sure the 6ths add depth to the musical background. The GG chords looked unnecessarily complicated to me.
