Well, I just couldn’t wait until his actual birthday (August 3rd) to post this. I finished it last night, and wow, want to talk about a cryfest. I don’t want to clutter this post up with words (I’ll write more about this milestone next week), but please grab some tissues, and enjoy this video of my sweetheart’s first year. Song is “The One Who Knows” by Dar Willams, lyics under video.
The One Who Knows
by Dar Williams
Time it was I had a dream
And you’re the dream come true
And if I had the world to give
I’d give it all to you.
I’ll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I’ll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.
You’ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job’s done, you’ll be the one who knows.
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle on
For the answers come
But I won’t make it harder
I’ll be there to cheer you up
I’ll shine the light that guides you down
The road you’re walking on
You’ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job’s done, you’ll be the one who knows.
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I will teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh me say
It all went by so fast
You’ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job’s done, you’ll be the one who knows.
