Lyrics
You came through the door with a smile on your face
And a little pink bow in your hair
A gift like no other to brighten our days
All wrapped up in dreams to be shared
But all of those dreams would be tested in time
Over and over again
Every mountain was harder to climb
And every step was a win
But we wouldn’t break - oh no
We couldn’t turn - and go
We had to fine - a way
To carry on
Walking alone in the chill of the night
The darkness it wasn’t our friend
Then out of the blue came a flickering light
Our dreams were alive once again
But all of those dreams would be tested in time
And nobody said it was fair
Sometimes it seemed like the weight of the world
Was there on our shoulders to bear
But we wouldn’t break - oh no
We couldn’t turn - and go
We had to fine - a way
To carry on
We met the days as one
And looked toward the sun
We dared the night to come
And bring it on
We only saw the blue skies
Though the clouds were dark and low
And the tears we cried together
Fell like rain on a rose
It’s hard to imagine a different road
And I wouldn’t change a thing
With nothing but love and a hand to hold
Let’s see what tomorrow will bring
But we wouldn’t break - oh no
We couldn’t turn - and go
We had to fine - a way
To carry on
We met the days as one
And looked toward the sun
We dared the night to come
And bring it on
We met the days as one
And looked toward the sun
We dared the night to come
And bring it on
