To Have and To Hold Lyrics

[00:00.08] Here we are now, ten years running
[00:04.75] Doesn't feel that long at all
[00:09.82] I remember the 8th of August
[00:14.57] Dancing in the wedding hall
[00:20.82] We were so young, there's so much that we couldn't have known
[00:30.62] We're just beginning to see what the future can hold
[00:38.15] I'm learning that love is a beautiful garden
[00:42.77] That's bursting with color when tended with care
[00:47.47] And I'm learning that love is a wild endeavor
[00:52.20] With no guarantees but the life that we share
[00:56.88] And I'm learning that love is a sign and a wonder
[01:01.82] And healing us more than we ever could know
[01:06.42] And there's plenty of reasons why things can be left to grow cold
[01:16.38] But I still believe in our promise to have and to hold
[01:24.58] To have and to hold
[01:30.80] Can't believe how fast they're growing
[01:35.60] We were warned, but I'm still surprised
[01:40.96] Children play, but, oh, they're watching
[01:45.43] Learning love before their eyes
[01:51.27] We're sharpening arrows and aiming them into the sky
[02:01.63] And over and over, we're helping them learn how to fly
[02:08.96] We'll show them a love that can live through an argument
[02:14.16] Filled with forgiveness when hurt has been done
[02:18.79] And we'll show them a love that can handle misfortune
[02:23.48] And still be around when the morning has come
[02:28.07] And I'm not naive, we've got miles to go
[02:32.98] But we've proven our love can grow deeper with time
[02:37.67] And there's plenty of reasons why things can be left to grow cold
[02:47.72] But I still believe in our promise to have and to hold
[02:55.91] To have and to hold
[03:01.75] All our days
[03:05.84] To have and to hold
[03:11.48] Oh
[03:16.26] I'm learning that love is a beautiful garden
[03:21.09] That's bursting with color when tended with care
[03:25.62] And I'm learning that love is a wild endeavor
[03:30.58] With no guarantees but the life that we share
[03:35.23] And I'm learning that love is a sign and a wonder
[03:40.19] And healing us more than we ever could know
[03:45.06] And there's plenty of reasons why things can be left to grow cold
[03:54.24] But I still believe in our promise to have and to hold
[04:02.77] To have and to hold
[04:09.38] All our days
[04:13.15] To have and to hold
[04:18.07]
