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?)
(How can we see that far?)
I knew I wanted you like no one else
I told my mama 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 to 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 mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean to 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
Ooh, 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 (how can we see that far)
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean to it (how can we see that far?)
Gotta lean to it
Will drive our fears away"
It's the same sun, yeah
And the same rain
It's the same sun
And the same rain
