She made it through the grace of a thousand men
To knock upon my front door
She waited for the boy to let her in
And to earnestly ask her for more

But the seasons they changed to an icy wind
And by summer he became a man
‘tween hot linen sheets they made their sin
With her hair clenched tight in his hand

[Chorus]
Between the days of smiles and sorrow
You held your hand in mine
Talking ‘bout love like no tomorrow
And kissing those lips of wine

But the last drop has finally fallen
Your absence a mystery
All that’s left are memories callin’
When I look toward an empty sea

[/Chorus]

She reached across the ocean of a thousand miles
To wipe away all of my tears
A princess from a land with promises in her hand
Unaware of her prince’s fears

But the seasons they changed from the color of fall
And laced the land with snow
And the prince fought hard to heed his call
To love like he’ll never know

[Chorus]

She slept like an angel on a heavenly bed
Her golden hair was curled
“That’s what I want,” I said in my head
(Just like the other girls)

But the seasons they changed from blue to green
And in springtime’s waking heat
We held each other through all
The destinies that had us beat

[Chorus]
