Carry That Torch Lyrics by Bernard Houston
Bernard Houston Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You hate the sin but love the sinner
Go to work, you say, "Don't be late for dinner"
My callused hands from that factory
Truck won't start, damn thing needs a battery
[Chorus]
I meant every word I said that day, the day I said I do
I'm gonna lay my head down so I can wake up and carry that torch for you
[Verse 2]
I got a bag of nails and a ball peen hammer
Gonna build a house where we can live forever
Got an aching back, so I reach for a whiskey
But just enough so the man upstairs still loves me
[Chorus]
I meant every word I said that day, the day I said I do
I'm gonna lay my head down so I can wake up and carry that torch for you
[Bridge]
Years, they have come and they have gone
Even tears can't drown the flame that burns on
[Verse 3]
When I found you, I grabbed a ladder
Climbed up the rungs where all the angels gather
So I think I'll cut the grass this coming Satry
If I play my cards right, maybe I'll get lucky
[Chorus]
I meant every word I said that day the day I said I do
I'm gonna lay my head down so I can wake up and carry that torch for you
The morning comes faster now every day, still, I got something to prove
I better lay my head down so I can wake up and carry that torch for you
