lyrics

It was late one night in our one bedroom flat
To sounds of the street from below
I pulled out a ring from a drawer in the closet
And confessed I could not let you go

You looked in my eyes I tried reading your face
Afraid I had done something wrong
As you slipped on the ring and pools filled your eyes
You asked me what took you so long

And you said yes to the sorrow
Yes to the fear and the pain
To the endless parade of loving and losing
For a glimpse now and then of the sun through the rain

Three children we crammed in our two bedroom house
Like the family that lived in a shoe
All in one room we would tell them a story
Then crawl off to bed me and you

Now one of those kids is away in college
The oldest one lives overseas
There’ll be a hole in our home as deep as the ocean
When the youngest one finally leaves

‘Cause each one said yes to the sorrow
Yes to the fear and the pain
To the endless parade of loving and losing
For their very own glimpse of the sun through the rain

When a couple’s been waltzing for thirty some years
Feet can’t help stepping on toes
Sometimes we’re awkward sometimes we’re graceful
As we learn about how this dance goes

I’m not sayin’ that it’s always been easy
I know there’ll be troubles to face
But to me it was always the staying and the learning
That held the most beautiful grace

The way we said yes to the sorrow
Yes to the fear and the pain
To the endless parade of loving and losing
Now more and more all I see ... is sun through the rain
