about

This song talks about the long haul of marriage. I awoke in the middle of the night and wrote down these lyrics. It was not until six months later that I re-discovered them and wrote the music.

lyrics

She puts on a white dress in the cold December snow
To say, “I do” forever
To say, “I will, I know”
Now it’s not easy, and that’s the best part
You’ve got to work hard at love
It’s part science, part art

Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet

She remembers the days they were running in the rain
Everything was beauty, and nothing was pain
That’s the way that life is
Well, it gets you every time
Put one hand on the wheel
And another in mine

Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet

Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet

Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
