Hand in Hand

Ilana and Josh wrote this song as a wedding gift and played it before over 100 peopel at the pre-wedding barbeque- brave souls. Thw words were inspired by Sarah Kellems mother before her wedding, "There are three phases to love: Falling in love, being in love, Staying in love." Sarah told this to me, I told it to Ilana, Ilana to josh, and now this song. Cameron and I are learning it on the guitar now. I have yet to make it through the last verse without crying.

Butterflies here they come again
Oh how the wind calls her name
Birds sing and the sun is always shining
Ever since she came

In her eyes the brand new day
Dawning after heavy rain
Blue sky chase the clouds away
The feeling I can’t explain

For falling in love is like the springtime
Wildflowers bloom across the land
Falling in love is running
Side by side arm and arm hand in hand

Twilight and the shadows fall
One by one the stars fill the sky
Evening and the stillness calls
Here we are just you and I

Summer wind won’t let it blow
Let the moonlight shine
For my heart it overflows
knowing that you are mine

For being in love is like the nighttime
Silence we both understand
Being in love is dancing
Side by side arm and arm hand in hand

Hard times are at the door
Oh how the seasons change
But the sun still shines like before
Ever since she came

For staying in love is like a lifetime
Learning to help each other stand
Staying in love is walking
Side by side arm and arm hand in hand
