I'll love you forever and a day
That's what the love songs like to say
In love it seems, life is but a dream
When we started out it felt that way.
But it didn't take us very long
To find out the world is not a song
Life gets blue and love does too
You learn to forgive and just go on.
Maybe that's all it takes
Just letting go of the old mistakes
And holding on tight to the love we made
Maybe that's all it takes.
We've done our share of slamming doors
And wondering what were together for
Yes, we've been through a tear or two
For every tear I love you more.
And maybe that's all it takes
Just letting go of the old mistakes
Holding on tight to the love we made
Maybe that's all it takes.
Maybe that's all it takes
Just letting go of the old mistakes
Holding on tight to the love we made
Maybe that's all it takes...

Don Williams' song "Maybe That's All It Takes" is a country love ballad reflecting on the endurance of a long-term relationship. The lyrics acknowledge that love is not always easy, mentioning slamming doors and tears, but emphasize forgiveness and holding on to the love that was made. The song suggests that letting go of past mistakes and staying committed is what sustains a marriage. While it touches on themes of forgiveness and perseverance, it is not explicitly Christian in content, lacking references to God, faith, or scripture. Therefore, it is classified as not a Christian song.
