|
we said our promises by candle light |
|
you held my hands |
|
i was dressed in white |
|
we were young |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
i knew i wanted you like no one else |
|
i told my momma that i found myself in your eyes |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
but like you daddy said |
|
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay |
|
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay |
|
and the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into it will drive our fears away |
|
and then i woke you in the dead of night |
|
to hold my hands |
|
push away the fright |
|
life had come |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
yeah, we were nervous and a little scared |
|
until the music of our baby's cry filled the air |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
but like your daddy said |
|
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay |
|
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay |
|
and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away |
|
we might die |
|
we might live |
|
we could hurt each other badly |
|
do things, things so hard to forgive |
|
ooh, and if time is not our friend |
|
your mind might forget me before the end |
|
ohh, and i cannot look that far |
|
but like your daddy said |
|
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay |
|
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay |
|
and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away |
|
how can we see that far? |
|
gotta lean into it |
|
will drive our fears away |
|
it's the same sun, yeah |
|
and the same rain |
