How Can We See That Far

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We said our promises by candlelight You held my hands, I was dressed in white We were young (How can we see that far?) (How can we see that far?) I knew I wanted you like no one else I told my momma that I'd found myself in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] (How can we see that far?) (How can we see that far?) [Chorus] 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 mighty wind That knocks us down if we lean into it Will drive our fears away [Verse 2] 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?) A sun (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 [Pre-Chorus] (How can we see that far?) (How can we see that far?) [Chorus] 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 mighty wind That knocks us down if we lean into it Will drive our fears away [Verse 3] 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 And, oh, I cannot, I cannot look that far [Chorus] But like your daddy said (How can we see that far?) 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 (How can we see that far?) Gotta lean into it Will drive our fears away [Outro] It's the same sun, yeah And the same rain (It's the same sun) (And the same rain)
