Cover art for I Believe In You lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

I always thought the song was from a father's perspective to his child. My dad actually sang this song to my sister and I for our wedding days.

Maybe I'm confused. Haha.

But from my perspective, "didn't we both agree you'd never grow up" and "aren't these the little hands that held so tight to mine" explain an adult/child relationship--not a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
