QUAINT BUT TRUE
Once I saw this car flying, burning up the tar, driving
Right through the intersection,
Red light, one way, wrong direction
“Hold on baby, we’re almost there!”
Once I saw this guy fight a monster twice his size
With rolled up sleeves and balled up fists
He looked him in the eye, said this:
“Hey you, let’s go!” Then he smiled right at his girl
Why oh why
Would you break all the rules, would you take a black eye?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do
Once I saw this boy sell his very favorite toy
But the toil and sweat didn’t mean a thing
Compared to that new diamond ring
“Oh please, say yes.” And she did.
Once I saw this girl bring a child into the world
With pain like death right to the end
Then two years passed, she smiled and said,
“Let’s try again, I don’t think I’m done.”
Why oh why
Would you give your heart, would you almost die?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do
Once I saw this Dad give the only Son He had
He was hunted, hated, underrated,
Tortured, murdered, desecrated
“Turn out the lights, I don’t want to see.”
Once I saw this Son, and He was the only One
Walked willingly right to His death,
Gave His life, His blood, His breath,
Forgive them, they don’t know what they do
Why oh why
Would you give your child, would you give your life?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do
