[Verse 1] In August beneath the khuppa I placed a ring on your hand Two young dreamers together With more hopes than we had plans We stood at the start of a journey Certain that love knew the way Not knowing the years would keep teaching What those words could never say [Pre-Chorus] The seasons have come and gone The world has changed outside But through every passing year We've kept building side by side [Chorus] And year after year We keep building our home Adding another stone To the life that we've known Finding new reasons to celebrate New memories to make Because love isn't something we found It's something we create מַיִם רַבִּים¹ (Mayim rabbim — Many waters) לֹא יוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה¹ (Lo yukhlu lekhabbot et ha-ahavah — cannot extinguish love.) וּנְהָרוֹת¹ (Uneharot — Nor can rivers) לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ¹ (Lo yisht'fuha — wash it away.) [Verse 2] Some roads led where we expected Some wandered far from the plan Some dreams arrived in their season Some came another way than we planned But every chapter we entered Brought something precious and new A thousand ordinary moments That slowly became me and you [Pre-Chorus] The years don't lessen the wonder The years don't silence the song They give us more reasons to cherish What we've been building all along [Chorus] And year after year We keep building our home Adding another stone To the life that we've known Finding new reasons to celebrate New memories to make Because love isn't something we found It's something we create מַיִם רַבִּים¹ (Mayim rabbim — Many waters) לֹא יוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה¹ (Lo yukhlu lekhabbot et ha-ahavah — cannot extinguish love.) וּנְהָרוֹת¹ (Uneharot — Nor can rivers) לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ¹ (Lo yisht'fuha — wash it away.) [Bridge] הֲרֵי אַתְּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת לִי² (Harei at mekudeshet li — Behold, you are consecrated to me.) A ring upon your hand A promise made beneath the khuppa Before the life we'd planned The words were said in moments The years supplied the rest Building a life together And always building yet [Final Chorus] And year after year We keep building our home Adding another stone To the life that we've known Finding new reasons to celebrate New memories to make Because love isn't something we found It's something we create מַיִם רַבִּים¹ (Mayim rabbim — Many waters) לֹא יוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה¹ (Lo yukhlu lekhabbot et ha-ahavah — cannot extinguish love.) וּנְהָרוֹת¹ (Uneharot — Nor can rivers) לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ¹ (Lo yisht'fuha — wash it away.) And long after photographs fade And long after the wedding day We'll keep building what we started Along the way [Outro] In August beneath the khuppa I placed a ring on your hand And if I were standing there now Knowing all that I know I'd place that ring there once again מַיִם רַבִּים¹ (Mayim rabbim — Many waters) לֹא יוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה¹ (Lo yukhlu lekhabbot et ha-ahavah — cannot extinguish love.) וּנְהָרוֹת¹ (Uneharot — Nor can rivers) לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ¹ (Lo yisht'fuha — wash it away.) ---------------------------------- Sources ¹ Shir HaShirim 8:7 ² Traditional Kiddushin Formula
