How Can We See That Far Lyrics - Amy Grant

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 

How can we see that far? 

How can we see that far? 

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. 

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 son 

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 

How can we see that far? (How can we see that far?) 

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. 

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. 

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 

It's the same sun, yeah 

And the same rain 

It's the same sun 

And the same rain.
