Inspired by a painting by my Grandfather.

spoken:
little girl - What does it mean?
Mother - There is a story behind it. You see, It was a long time ago...

verse 1:
They are walking hand in hand
Along the snow covered dirt road
Coming from the building
That she used to call her home.
heading toward the steeple
Shining like a beacon
In the quickly receding sun.

He looks her in the eyes.
Says, "Darling are you sure?"
She nods her head, then
Shakes it slowly

Chorus:
I'm sure of what I'm feeling
Just not sure of what I'm doing.
I see the disappointed faces of all my friends.
And I wonder what they are thinking.
What am I doing wrong?
I know what I feel is right
But I don't know what to do!

Verse 2:
He stopps to look at her
Then points to all the
Leafless trees surrounding them.
"I think I understand" he says
"You want to get away"

She looks him in the eyes
Says, "Darling are you sure?"
He nods his head, then
Shakes it slowly

Chorus:
I'm sure of what I'm feeling
Just not sure of what I'm doing
I see the cheerful faces of all my friends
But the look of sadness in your eyes
Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong.
I know what I feel is right.
But I dont know what to do!

Bridge:
"I want to run away!' she cries
"But I can't live without you!"
She turns to him, and begs
"Come with me!!!"

He looks her in the eyes,
Says, "Darling, are you sure?"
She shakes her head,
Then nods it slowly!

Chorus:
I'm sure of what I'm feeling
So I'm sure of what I'm doing
I see the disappointed faces of my friends,
But I no longer care what they're thinking!
Cause I know I'm doing no wrong
As long as I'm with you!


spoken:
Young girl - And...the two people were?
Mother - Your Grandparents, yes.
Young girl - That means that the picture was painted by-
Mother - Your Papa, yes. When him and your Nana got married, he gave it to her as a wedding gift...it is the church where they met, and ran away together.
Young girl - Did he ever figure out what he was doing in life?
Mother - What do you think?

sung:

I am sure of what I am doing...As long as I'm with you!!
As long as I'm with you!
