[Verse 1]
Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow-covered hill, it's growing
Like the size of the fish that the man claims broke his reel, it's growing
Like the rosebud blooming in the warmth of the summer sun, it's growing
Like the tale by the time, it's been told by more than one, it's growing
[Chorus]
Every day, it grows a little more then it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Ooooh, how it grows and grows
And where it's going to stop, I'm sure nobody knows
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
How it grows and it grows and it grows (nobody knows)
It gets a little wider (nobody knows)
Oh, it gets a little stronger (nobody knows)
(Nobody knows)
(Nobody knows)
[Verse 2]
Like the need in a guy to see his girl when she's gone away (it's growing)
Like the sadness in his little heart when he knows that she's gone to stay, it's growing
[Chorus]
Every day it grows a little more than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
(Ooooh, how it grows and grows)
And where it's going to stop I'm sure nobody knows
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
(Nobody knows, knows, knows, knows)
(Nobody knows, knows, knows, knows)
(Nobody knows, knows, knows, knows)
(Nobody knows, knows, knows, knows)
(Nobody knows, knows, knows, knows)
Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow-covered hill, it's growing

[Chorus]
Every day, it grows a little more then it was the day before

Ooooh, how it grows and grows

Hey, hey, hey (nobody knows)
Oooo (nobody knows)
