You Came So Close - Andrew Peterson

You Came So Close Lyrics

You could no more kill the darkness
Than you could raise the sun
And the sky was cold and black
Like the barrel of a gunAnd I remember the tremble
In the words you spoke
As you balanced there on the brink
At the end of your ropeYou came so close to letting goAnd you knew she would hate you
She would kick you out
You'd been lying in the bed that you made
When you broke your vowThen you woke in the wasteland
Of the truth you told
And you turned to see she stayed,
She was bright as a band of goldYou came so close to letting goSo don't let go, 'cause you never know
Don't let go, you never know for sureAnd the sky in Nashville
It can bend you low
'Cause the winter here is gray
Without a trace of snowBut there is no shadow
On the silver stars

And the colder the night is,
The closer the heavens areAnd we're so close
So don't let go
'Cause this I know
Don't let go
This I know for sure:
There's still hope
