To Have and To Hold Pat Barrett

[Verse 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-Chorus 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

[Chorus 1]
I’m learning that love is a
Beautiful garden that's bursting with color when tended with care
And I'm learning that love is a wild endeavor
With no guarantees but the life that we share
And 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

[Verse 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
