Lyrics

there?s a young man who says he loves my daughter
i do believe him lookin? in his eyes.
i hope that she remembers all i taught her
to let her love grow up and be life size.

i watch them walking down the road together.
i see them facing right into the wind.
i send a blessing to help them through the weather
to see them all the way there and back again.

they will know the sweet and bitter fruit
they will know the blossom and the root
they will know agreement and dispute
and they?ll try a love that?s absolute

this is a mother?s sweetest consolation
to know her woman daughter is choosing well
their love is in a dance of celebration
and if it never will end only time will tell

see, i have known the sweet and bitter fruit
i have known the blossom and the root
i have known agreement and dispute
and i?ve got a love that?s absolute

it seems to me that they are on the right track
they?re listening close and clear to their own hearts
they?re stepping out and they?re not looking back now,
this is where their very own lives really start

they will know the sweet and bitter fruit
they will know the blossom and the root
they will know agreement and dispute
and with any luck,
they?ll know a love that?s absolute

i watch them walking down the road together.
i see them facing right into the wind.
i send the goddess to help them through the weather
to see them all the way there
to see them all the way there
to see them all the way there and back again.
amen.
