Hold onto hope, don’t let go, and don’t give up, there’s
Rest for your weary soul, and time to heal yet
Still, you fight with what you're told
And hold onto your scars and wounds and past of old

And I said
What would you do
If you could lose, all your burdens
And I said
My words are few
But I love you, those words please hear them

I can’t begin to comprehend, what you’ve been through
I wish it was all just pretend, just an awful dream
But please don’t let your heart grow dead
For God restores and brings hope and grace and truth and life

And I said
What would you do
If you could lose, all your burdens
And I said
My words are few
But I love you, those words please hear them

Grace is the reason why we're both alive
So we’ll pour out grace until we die

Felt your love on a wishful day
held your hand and was whisked away
country lips hang dry, I
miss and wish to kiss the same

there was a time there was a season
we had our day I had a feeling
We got no rhyme I got no reason
for me to stay but love I’m pleading

If you can love me show me now
If you can leave please show me how
If you can love come show me
If you can leave just go

know I shouldn’t put this all on you
though I wouldn’t if I knew how too
come to grips, say bye, I
find I’m weak for what I wish to do

there was a time there was a season
we had our day I had a feeling
We got no rhyme I got no reason
for me to stay but love I’m pleading

If you can love me show me now
If you can leave please show me how
If you can’t love don’t hold me
If you can’t leave then don’t

Won’t say which way it’s better
Don’t stay if it’s in you to leave
Won’t show how I made you my debtor
Don’t go if you have what I need

You, you always find me here
When the world thinks that I’ve disappeared
You know just where to look, you know just where to look

And you, you have a heart of gold
And I look forward to growing old
'Cause I'll be old with you, oh I'll be old with you

The moon awaits the night
The sun awaits the day
And I’ll await the time when I'll look you
In the eyes and say, oh I'll say, I do

I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do

And I'll plant a garden in the summertime
Pick you flowers in the rain or shine
Just because I can, just because I can

The moon awaits the night
The sun awaits the day
And I’ll await the time when I'll look you
In the eyes and say, oh I'll say, I do

I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do

Through the calm and the wind
Through thick and through thin
Through the losses and wins, I do I do I do

Through rich and through poor
Oh my heart is yours
Through sickness and health
I do, I do, I do

The moon awaits the night
The sun awaits the day
And I’ll await the time when I'll look you
In the eyes and say, oh I'll say, I do

I do I do I do I do
I do I do I do

I remember when I first saw you
You were smiling and I was to
You looked beautiful, just like you always do

I was thinking that we could be best friends
I was hoping that this would never end
You were skeptical, but I was confident

'Cause you, were all I ever saw, since day one
Oh you were all I ever saw, since day one

I remember when I thought I was through
With the crazy things that love could do
Never thought that I would find somebody like you

Was it how you laughed or that summer rain
That made all my fear seem to fade away
In that moment I knew you were here to stay

'Cause you, were all I ever saw, since day one
Oh you were all I ever saw, since day one

Those long talks, those late nights, spent staring in your eyes
Our first kiss, our first fight, those long walks in moonlight
All that time I knew that my heart would not go back
I’d fallen, we’d fallen since day one

'Cause you, were all I ever saw, since day one
Oh you were all I ever saw, since day one

My heart goes deeper than my mind
Sees farther than my eyes
My heart hears better than my ears
Beats as you draw near

True love never forgets
So fill my heart, fill my head
Fill my bones, fill my breath
Let us have a love that never forgets

On the twelfth of every month
She writes me a letter
'Cause she knows it's my favorite number
And I’m her favorite one

Well we don’t know where we’re going
No, but it doesn’t matter
It doesn't matter
'Cause we’re going towards the sun

The light is here it's time to go
Shine a light into the unknown
Push me out so I can grow
Singing I’ll go I’ll go
We’ll grow we’ll grow

On the twelfth of every month
I write her a new song
And the birds they all sing along
And not a note is out of tune

Well we don’t know where we’re going
No, but it doesn’t matter
It doesn't matter
'Cause we’re going somewhere soon

The light is here it's time to go
Shine a light into the unknown
Push me out so I can grow
Singing I’ll go I’ll go
We’ll grow we’ll grow

I can’t say loves always easy
I’m guilty of being greedy
But I’ve learned to live without borders
'Cause loves always pushing forward

We were floating down the river
In your red canoe
You were laughing at my stories
Oh back from my youth

And I remember thinking to myself
That you were the one
You were stunning, you were lovely
And you were fun

And there was no one else I wanted to see
There was nothing else I wanted to do
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Than floating down that stream with you

Or that one time, on the west coast
in the dead of night
We were watching, watching cruise ships
Gently pass us by

And I remember gazing at your face
in the starry light
Thinking life don’t get much better
Then a night like tonight

And there was no one else I wanted to see
There was nothing else I wanted to do
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Than sitting ocean-side with you

Ya there’s nothing, nowhere, no-one
That I’d rather be with!

I’m gonna love you when we're old and grey
When our eyes don’t see very far away
I’m gonna love you when there's dishes to be done
I’ll scrub scrub scrub, just to hear you say Hun

I’m gonna love you with the words of my mouth
With the works of my hands, oh don’t you ever doubt
I’m gonna love you with soft little kisses
You’ll be my Mr. and I’ll be your Mrs.

We're gonna grow grow grow
Were gonna love love love
Were gonna growlove growlove growlove

I’m gonna love you with an honest soul
'Cause love don’t lie, oh don’t you know
I’m gonna love you when your days been long
Oh when you're stressed, when you're right and when you're wrong

I’m gonna love you by being on time
'Cause I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
I’m gonna love you 'cause I said I would
To you and God and He’s oh so good

We're gonna grow grow grow
Were gonna love love love
Were gonna growlove growlove growlove

We’re gonna growlove growlove growlove grow
If our loves a garden, we're gonna grow it
We’re gonna growlove growlove growlove grow
We’re gonna water, weed plant and sow it
We’re gonna growlove growlove growlove
Grow grow grow
We’re gonna grow grow love love grow growlove

We're gonna grow grow grow
Were gonna love love love
Were gonna growlove growlove growlove
