they were your words they were my words

I said I loved you and you said you loved me

we looked into each others eyes

we knew that it was meant to be

they were your words and they were my words

like the breath we draw they came so naturally

I held you in my arms and you held me in yours

we were locked in each other's arms shushing cries

we guarded our hearts so they'd never shatter

but we opened each other's doors and realized no pain would ever matter

I said that I'd never leave your side and you said you'd never leave mine

they were your words and they were my words

it was your love it was my love

that grew our joyous bond just as the seedling grows the pine
