| I was nineteen, you were twenty-one
|
| The year we got engaged
|
| Everyone said we were much too young
|
| But we did it anyway
|
| We bought our rings for forty each
|
| From a pawn shop down the road
|
| We made our vows and took the leap
|
| Now fifteen years ago
|
| We went dancing in the minefields
|
| We went sailing in the storm
|
| And it was harder than we dreamed
|
| But I believe that’s what the promise is for
|
| «I do"are the two most famous last words
|
| The beginning of the end
|
| But to lose your life for another I’ve heard
|
| Is a good place to begin
|
| 'Cause the only way to find your life
|
| Is to lay your own life down
|
| And I believe it’s an easy price
|
| For the life that we have found
|
| And we’re dancing in the minefields
|
| We’re sailing in the storm
|
| This is harder than we dreamed
|
| But I believe that’s what the promise is for
|
| So when I lose my way, find me
|
| When I loose love’s chains, bind me
|
| At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days
|
| When I forget my name, remind me
|
| 'Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man
|
| So there’s nothing left to fear
|
| So I’ll walk with you in the shadowlands
|
| Till the shadows disappear
|
| 'Cause he promised not to leave us
|
| And his promises are true
|
| So in the face of all this chaos, baby,
|
| I can dance with you |
