We said our promises
by candlelight
You held my hands
I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far
How can we see that far
I knew I wanted you
like no one else
I told my momma that
I'd found myself in your eyes
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 mighty wind
that knocks us down
If we lean into it
will drive our fears away
And when I woke you
in the dead of night
To hold my hands
Push away the fright
Life had come
a son
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 mighty wind
that knocks us down
If we lean into it
will drive our fears away
We might die
We might live
We could hurt
each other badly
Do things
Things so hard to forgive
Ooo and if time
is not our friend
Your mind might forget me
before the end
And oh I cannot
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 mighty wind
that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Got to lean into it
Will drive our fears away
It's the same sun yeah
And the same rain
