Carry That Torch - Bernard Houston Lyrics
Carry That Torch
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
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
