I was nineteen, you were twenty-one
The year we got engaged
Everyone said we were much too young

But we did it anyway

We bought our rings for forty each

From a pawn shop down the road
We made our vows and took the leap
Now fifteen years ago


We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storm

And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for


"I do" are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I've heard

Is a good place to begin

'Cause the only way to find your life

Is to lay your own life down
And I believe it's an easy price
For the life that we have found


And we're dancing in the minefields
We're sailing in the storm

This is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for


So when I lose my way, find me
When I loose love's chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days

When I forget my name, remind me

'Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man

So there's nothing left to fear
So I'll walk with you in the shadowlands
Till the shadows disappear


'Cause he promised not to leave us
And his promises are true

So in the face of all this chaos, baby,
I can dance with you
