lyrics

YOU CAN TELL Lisa Winter

You can tell by the ring on her finger
That she only married for love
You can tell by the way he speaks of her
That she's still the one he's dreaming of
And the gift they possess
Is the present at rest
It is well, they're in love
You can tell

You can tell that they speak their own language
By a look or a touch that they share
Through the stories that tested their patience
Or their joy in an unanswered prayer
But the tales always end
With a humble amen
It is well, they're in love
You can tell

Love can define you,
Grafting in with grace
The scars that it's blind to
Heal and slowly fade away

He will tell you that he wasn't perfect
Repents of the pain that he caused
In her version she is quite certain
That the Lord had a plan and a call
And together they fall
On their knees through it all
For they believe it is well
You can tell

Every time the story ends
Each one's the other's hero then
They kiss again
And you can feel the tenderness
Like rolling thunder in your chest
As tears swell cause
You can tell

Love can define you
Grafting in with grace
The scars that it's blind to
Heal and slowly fade away

Love will refine you
Grafting in with grace
The scars that it's blind to
Heal and slowly fade away

It is well, love is good
There is hope you can tell
It is well, this is love
You can tell
