dancing in the minefields

andrew peterson

well

i was nineteen

you were twenty-one

the year we got engaged

and everyone said we were much too young

but we did it anyway

we got the rings for forty each

from a pawn shop down the road

we said our vows and took the leap

now fifteen years ago

and we went dancing in the minefields

we went sailing in the storms

and it was harder than we dreamed

but i believe that's what the promise is for

i do" are the two most famous last words
