To Have And To Hold
lyrics by Jack Foster III, music by Foster, Gardner, and Berry
©2008 Muse-Wrapped Publishing

(ain’t no way to turn my love light out)
I woke, it was a Sunday
My head was fi lled with Laura
those days, Oh what a haze,
couldn’t think about anything else
I guess I’d fallen for her
I kinda-like . . . adored her

(ain’t no way to turn my love light out)
she turned it on and up without a doubt
and now that she’s a part of me,
it makes me want to shout
there ain’t no way to turn my love light out

ain’t no way . . . ain’t no way

We started hand in hand, we did
faced the world together,
had a plan, we did
She gave me of herself, she did
and we loved
with every bit of our might
started our life

She’s walking towards me in white,
the story is told
she’s the one I wanted
to have and to hold
to have and to hold

And there ain’t no way
to turn my love light out
she turned it on and up without a doubt
and now that she’s a part of me,
it makes me want to shout
there ain’t no way
to turn my love light out

ain’t no way . . . ain’t no way

We started hand in hand, we did
faced the world together, had a plan we did
what did we know?
No way to know the way we’d grow
We raised a fam’ly, yeah we did
laughing children bouncing on the knee
Man did they grow!
the world is always turning ya know

(inst.)

We started hand in hand, we did
faced the world together,
you know man we did
We’ve had our share of fights, we have
Spent our unfair share
of lonely nights, we have
We’ve caused each other pain, we have
grown apart and struggle to get back
to get back again
want to know you once again

When I look in the mirror,
I feel kind of old
am I the one she wanted
to have and to hold
to have and to hold

but there ain’t no way
to turn my love light out
yes I still love you
