Kayla, I spent so long looking at the horizon,
Waiting for a light I didn’t know was rising.
I was building a life with a missing part,
A hollow space right in the center of my heart.
Then you stepped into the frame and the colors turned real,
There aren’t enough words for the way that you make me feel.
Yeah, I am so thankful for us!
Oh yeah.
Kayla, you’re the dream that I finally woke up to,
Every vision of the future starts and ends with you.
I’m laying down my roots, I’m building up my walls,
With you to catch me every time the shadow falls.
Yeah, I am so thankful for us!
Oh yeah.
(The cello pulls a deep, warm melody, like a steady heartbeat)
I close my eyes and I see the porch light swinging,
I hear the laughter and the kitchen bell ringing.
Years of memories we haven’t even made yet,
The greatest sunrises that we haven’t even played yet.
Every gray hair, every line upon my face,
I want them all to happen right here in your embrace.
Yeah, I am so thankful for you!
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, I am so thankful for you!
(Violin and Piano begin a rhythmic, hopeful dance together)
It’s more than a crush and it’s more than a phase,
I’m lost in the wonder of your beautiful ways.
You’re the peace in my soul when the world gets loud,
The silver lining on every single cloud.
I’m investing my life, I’m giving you my soul,
Because Brandon without Kayla isn't ever truly whole.
Yeah, I am so thankful for us!
Oh yeah.
(Bridge - Music swells with cinematic power and light)
I’m dreaming of the house, I’m dreaming of the years,
Through the celebrations and through all the tears.
I’ll be the shoulder and I’ll be the hand,
Building our kingdom on this holy land.
Divine intervention brought you to my side,
And I’m staying right here for the whole damn ride.
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah.
(Final Climax - All instruments crashing together in a major key)
Yeah, I am so thankful for us!
Oh yeah!
(The music drops to a soft, intimate piano melody)
Kayla, you’re my future.
You’re my every memory.
Yeah, Yeah, I am so thankful for us!
Loving you.
Oh yeah.
Loving you is what I meant to do.
(A final, gentle violin note holds until it fades)
