Lyrics

Here we are now ten years running


Doesn’t feel that long at all


I remember the 8th of August


Dancing in the wedding hall


 


We were so young


There’s so much that we couldn’t have known


We’re just beginning to see what the future can hold


 


I’m learning that love is a 


Beautiful garden that’s bursting with color when tended with care 


I’m learning that love is a wild endeavor 


With no guarantees but the life that we share


I’m learning that love is a Sign and a wonder


And healing us more than we ever could know


And there’s plenty of reasons why things can be left to grow cold


But I still believe in our promise to have and to hold


To have and to hold


 


Can’t believe how fast they’re growing


We were warned, but I’m still surprised


Children play but oh they’re watching


Learning love before their eyes


 


We’re sharpening arrows and aiming them into the sky


Over and over we’re helping them learn how to fly


 


We’ll show them a love that can live through an argument


Filled with forgiveness when hurt has been done


We’ll show them a love that can handle misfortune 


And still be around when the morning has come


And I’m not naive we’ve got miles to go 


But we’ve proven our love can grow deeper with time


And there’s plenty of reasons why things can be left to grow cold


But I still believe in our promise to have and to hold


To have and to hold
