hot day in july, nineteen eighty-nine
ninety degrees standing in the shade
you were dressed up all in white walking down the aisle
holding on tight to your daddy's arm
i looked into your eyes
and i saw love shine
i swore to be your man, you swore to be my girl
with a blessing and a promise we headed out into the world
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
together we stand darling in this life
nobody leads and nobody follows
you and me walk it side by side
ten years come and gone, this road we've been on
has taken us through many twists and turns
the changes we've faced have tested our faith
but we stood strong darling come what may
now there've been some times one's fallen behind
i waited for you, girl you waited for me
we each other we found all the stength
in this world that we need
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
together we stand darling in this life
nobody leads and nobody follows
you and me walk it side by side
lying here tonight holding you close
i know this much darling to be true
to the end we'll make it through
side by side
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
together we stand darling in this life
nobody leads and nobody follows
you and me walk it side by side
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
together we stand darling in this life
nobody leads and nobody follows
you and me walk it side by side
