To Have And To Hold
By Pat Barrett
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
