A Sound That I Hear

I know you're just a little girl But he told me you're the one I know I'm just a crazy boy Always on the run But hope goes all over you In a sound that I hear Every time you are near Through all of our heartaches And all of our tears All of our children Through all of the years Will you stand beside me Serve and guide me Create a new world This may be a diamond ring But our promise starts the clock I know I'm but 15 And I ain't been around the block But if we don't take this chance There's so many lives Might get left behind Through all of our heartaches And all of our tears All of our children Through all of the years Will you stand beside me Serve and guide me Create a new world As time goes by Faster and faster As you and I come out of slumber Wake up each Sunday Which seems like every day Open my eyes Half a century's gone by You stand here beside me as we look out on the sea Of twinkling and shimmering eyes that long to see The goodness and beauty that we have created It looks like we've made it Through all of our heartaches And sleepless nights spent Those days of sunshine that seemed heaven sent You stood beside me Always beside me Trusting and shining on and on and on
