Verso 1

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

Pre Coro 1

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

Coro 1

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

Post C

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

Vamp

To have and to hold

Verso 2

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

Pre Coro 2

We’re sharpening arrows
And aiming them into the sky
Over and over we’re helping them
Learn how to fly

Coro 2

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

Post C

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

Refrain

To have and to hold
All our days
To have and to hold
Ohhhh

And healing us more

All our days
To have and to hold
