Love Grows Love · letra

you said to "put on a happy face" on a high school stage but I read what you really meant in your handwriting on a Bible page you waited like you told me though we knew it right away, it took eight and a half more years to finally say
I fell in love with you and that love became something new it keeps getting stronger than we ever could have longed love keeps growing more love
when we got the news we had to call our families and start painting the room a nice, bright blue our vows they started breathing and they took on flesh and blood and we held them in our arms and tasted God was good
I fell in love with you and that love became something new it added a name and it added a smile it keeps getting bigger every further mile there on your bended knee we sewed the seeds of our history they're coming up stronger than we ever could have longed love keeps growing more love
if love is an echo of the heart the heart is a canyon that stretches wild and free without an end and breaks through every wall that holds us in
I'm on the other side of the world to see what changed you so my heart breaks with the broken and it dances with the hope you told me I would find here but I could not understand until I'm walking here beside you hand in hand
