The first time our eyes met, something changed in me,Before your lips said a word, your soul was speaking free.
I reached into your spirit, I felt the truth inside,A love I’d waited all my life was standing by my side.Every scar I carried, every lonely night,Started fading slowly underneath your light.You never had to promise forever with your voice,My heart already knew… I’d found my choice.
You came and turned the gray into a sky so blue,Showed me what real love is supposed to do.Every prayer I whispered, Heaven finally heard,Now every heartbeat speaks your name without a word.
Vernell… you changed my life,
You turned my darkness into paradise.
You’re my soulmate, my answered prayer,
The kind of love that’s always there.
On the Fourth of July, two hearts became one,Underneath the stars, our forever had begun.When we gave each other hearts, time stood still that night,
Now every beat inside my chest is calling out your light.You’re my home… my peace… my destiny.Forever starts with you and me.
You move me in a thousand ways you don’t even know,With every gentle smile, you help my spirit grow.You make me feel protected, wanted, seen and whole,Like God reached down from Heaven and finally healed my soul. I’ve loved before, but nothing felt this true,
Nobody ever touched my heart the way you do.You’re the melody my lonely heart was waiting for,The man I’ll keep choosing forevermore.If tomorrow never came,
I’d still thank God He whispered your name.
Out of every road that life could make us take,He wrote our story before our first embrace.I’ll stand beside you through the highs and through the lows,
Growing older while our love just grows.
No matter what this world may say or do,
My forever has always belonged to you.
Vernell… you changed my life,
You filled my broken pieces with your light.
From the day I felt your energy,
You’ve been the missing half of me.
July Fourth will always shine,
The day your heart became intertwined with mine.
Every sunrise, every dream, every breath I take,
I’ll spend forever loving you with every beat I make.
You’re my king… my best friend… my answered prayer.
And I’ll love you… for the rest of my life.
So if you ever wonder what you mean to me…
Listen closely to my heartbeat.
Every rhythm, every note, every song it sings…
Will always whisper one name…Vernell
