Mighty as the river flows
Patient as a flower as she grows
Love takes time, the road forever winds
But always leads me back to you
I guess I always knew all this
I could see the future in that first kiss
And touch by touch our love would grow
But it would take some time before we'd know

Start the music, light the candles
Take me back to the lace and sandals
Two scared kids standing at the altar
Trying to look grown up on that first day
On our way to everlasting love

It's funny how the times race by
Days turn into years in the blink of an eye
Through triumph and tears
Through time and tide
You've always made my heart stand still

Start the music, light the candles
Take me back to the lace and sandals
Two scared kids standing at the altar
Trying to look grown up on that first day
On our way to everlasting love

On mainstreet down backroads
We traveled light to ease the load
With just our love and a tattered road map
And faith to guide us home

Start the music, light the candles
Renew our vows in lace and sandals
Those two scared kids trembling at the altar
Are standing strong and tall

Now we thank you for this dream we're living
Clinging to what god has given
We sing the song we heard from high above
On that first day
On our way to everlasting love
