To Have And To Hold
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As the seasons go circlin', and the years spin away
And the highway grows narrow, at the end of the dayÂ
There's a promise I made you, on the first day of springÂ
To have and to hold, this gold wedding ringÂ
To have and to hold, 'till death do us partÂ
In sickness or health, with all the love in my heartÂ
For richer, for poorer, 'till we both have grown oldÂ
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to holdÂ
And if we can have children, or live all alone
The light of our love, will forever be shownÂ
Our union is timeless, our love beyond worthÂ
To have and to hold, 'till the ends of the earth
To have and to hold, 'till death do us part
In sickness or health, with all the love in my heart
For richer, for poorer, 'till we both have grown old
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to hold
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to hold
