Love Grows Love

You said, to put on a happy face on a high school stage
But I read what you really meant, 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
Added a name and we added a smile
Keeps getting bigger every further mile
There on your bended knee
We sewed the seeds of our history
Coming up stronger than we ever could have longed
Love keeps growing more love, love keeps growing more love
If love is an echo of the heart, the heart is a canyon
It stretches wild and free without an end
It 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
I fell in love with you
And that love became something new
Added a name, we added a smile
Keeps getting bigger every further mile
There on your bended knee
We sewed the seeds of our history
Coming up stronger than we ever could have longed
Love keeps growing more love, love keeps growing more love
