(Amy Grant & Tom Hemby)
|
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
|
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 mighty wind that knocks us down
|
If we lean into it
|
Will drive our fears away
|
|
We might die
|
We might die
|
We could hurt each other badly
|
Do things, things so hard to forgive
|
Oh 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
|
How can we see that far?
|
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
|
How can we see that far?
|
Will drive our fears away
|
It's the same sun, yeah
|
And the same rain
|
It's the same sun
|
And the same rain
|
