I first heard this song when I was about a week or so away from delivering Daniel. I just started bawling when I heard it! It is now one of my favorite songs ever.
you said to put on a happy face on a high school stage
but I read what you really meant in your handwriting on a Bible
waited like you told me though we knew it right away,
it took eight and a half more years to finally say
I fell in love with you and that love became something new
it keeps getting stronger than we ever could have longed love keeps growing more love
when we got the news we had to call our families
and start painting the room a nice, bright blue
our vows they started breathing and they took on flesh and blood
and we held them in our arms and tasted God was good
I fell in love with you and that love became something new
it added a name and it added a smile it keeps getting bigger every further mile
there on your bended knee we sewed the seeds of our history
they're coming up stronger than we ever could have longed
love keeps growing more love
if love is an echo of the heart the heart is a canyon
that stretches wild and free without an end
and breaks through every wall that holds us in
I'm on the other side of the world to see what changed you so
my heart breaks with the broken and it dances with the hope
you told me I would find here but I could not understand
until I'm walking here beside you hand in hand
