Full moons and empty promises

We were only high school kids

We got so close that we closed our eyes

to the facts of life



We were married in the spring

not long before the baby came

Your mama said she couldn't bare the shame

Your dad refused to give the bride away.



Beyond those years

Who'd have thought we'd still be standin' here

And that love would find it's way

Through all the tears

Beyond those years.

Eighteen standin' in the shoes of a man

The weight of the world in my unskilled hands

One by one as the dreams fell through

I took my failures out on you.



But you held on when it made no sense

And cleaned the face of the innocent

You were so strong to be so young

And now look just how far we've come.



Beyond those years

Who'd have thought we'd still be standin' here

And that love would find it's way

Through all the tears

Beyond those years.



So many times we wanted to act our age

Call it off, go our seperate ways

Against the odds we grew up to fast

And on our own, yeah, we made it last.



Beyond those years

Who'd have thought we'd still be standin' here

And that love would find it's way

Through all the tears

Beyond those years.

Beyond those years

Who'd have thought we'd still be standin' here

And that love would find it's way

Through all the tears

Beyond those years.



Beyond those years

Who'd have thought we'd still be standin' here

And that love would find it's way

Through all the tears

Beyond those years...
