we said our promises by candle light    you held my hands    i was dressed in white    we were young    how can we see that far?    i knew i wanted you like no one else   i told my momma that i found myself in your eyes   how can we see that far?   how can we see that far?   but like you daddy said    the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay   and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay   and the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into it will drive our fears away   and then i woke you in the dead of night    to hold my hands   push away the fright   life had come   how can we see that far?    how can we see that far?    yeah, we were nervous and a little scared   until the music of our baby's cry filled the air   how can we see that far?    how can we see that far?    but like your daddy said   the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay   and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay   and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away   we might die   we might live   we could hurt each other badly   do things, things so hard to forgive   ooh, and if time is not our friend   your mind might forget me before the end   ohh, and i cannot look that far   but like your daddy said   the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay   and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay   and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away   how can we see that far?    gotta lean into it   will drive our fears away   it's the same sun, yeah   and the same rain
