Caedmon's Call - Love Grows Love lyrics

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 I 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 the 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 that God was good I fell in love with you, and the love became something new Added a name and we added a smile, keeps getting bigger ever further mile There on your bended knee, we sowed the seeds of our history Coming up stronger than we ever could have longed 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 what I could not understand 'Til I'm walking here beside you hand in hand I fell in love with you, and the love became something new Added a name and we added a smile, keeps getting bigger ever further mile There on your bended knee, we sowed the seeds of our history Coming up stronger than we ever could have longed Love keeps growing more love
