We said I love you with initials and an arrow

Hearts were carved, our lips touched

And the love we chose was on the straight and narrow

And love will be our anchor

We know the days will bring us things we're not prepared for

Night will fall, love will call

And every morning we will wake up feeling cared for

And love will be our anchor



Life's not easy

And it helps if you are lucky

Rain will fall on the good and the bad

I will give you

Everything that I am able

And love will be our anchor



And when you can't believe the answers

To the simplest of questions

And your heart has grown cold

Love is still the rock of ages

And the rock will not be shaken

It's an anchor to hold



And when the waves have tossed our lives in reckless motion

Wind has blown, we have grown

We will make it all the way across this ocean

And love will be our anchor



Life's not easy

And it helps if you are lucky

Rain will fall on the good and the bad

I will give you

Everything that I am able

And love will be our anchor



And when you can't believe the answers

To the simplest of questions

And your heart has grown cold

Love is still the rock of ages

And the rock will not be shaken

It's an anchor to hold



We said I love you with initials and an arrow

Hearts were carved and our lips touched

And the love we chose was on the straight and narrow

And love will be our anchor

This love will be our anchor
