"Kept Every Vow" lyrics

They worked their way through college
Savin' pennies for the life they wanted
Dreamin' bout a little house with a yard
He bought her a layaway diamond
She said yes, and she couldn't stop smilin'
It wasn't much, but it was a start

For the fire that still burns in their hearts
They kept every vow
Somehow, they held on through every storm
They worked it out
When the going got rough
They never gave up on the love that they found
From, "You may kiss the bride," that Summer day in '85
From then until now, they kept every vow

Four kids and a few years later
Cancer came and tried to take her
He never left her side
That time that he got fired
She said, "We'll be alright"
Her faith in him and God never died

Through the ups and the downs of this life
They kept every vow
Somehow, they held on through every storm
They worked it out
When the going got rough
They never gave up on the love that they found
From, "You may kiss the bride," that Summer day in '85
From then until now, they kept every vow
They kept every vow

God knows, it's been far from perfect
But all that they've been through's been worth it

They kept every vow
Somehow, they held on through every storm
They worked it out
When the goin' got rough
They never gave up on the love that they found
From, "You may kiss the bride," that Summer day in '85
From then until now, they kept every vow
They kept every vow

They worked their way through college
Savin' pennies for the life they wanted
