Before you even knew me, you said you’d keep me safe
Just a whisper of a promise, but it took my breath away
From the moment that I heard it, I felt the whole world shift
After a few weeks in, you looked at me and said you’d marry me one day
I just giggled at the kitchen table, said, "Okay, sure"
But love had plans we just couldn’t see
Just look at where we are now.
Chorus
we built this life from nothing, just two hearts and no plans
Through the quiet nights and stormy days, we made a place to stand
You protected me, you kept your word, just like you said you’d do
And every day I thank the Lord above for giving me you.
Verse 2
The story truly started with a little line of blue
Our first sweet baby girl, making room for someone new
A few short years later another baby girl arrived, with your eyes and my smile.
Yeah, we walked through the valleys, took some hits along the way
But the ups and downs shaped who we are today
I look at you and the man that you became
So proud to hold your hand, so proud to wear your name.
Chorus
’Cause we built this life from nothing, just two hearts and no plan
Through the quiet nights and stormy days, we made a place to stand
You protected me, you kept your word, just like you said you’d do
And every day I thank the Lord above for giving me you.
Bridge
We thought our house was full, thought the circle was complete
But heaven had a secret, a little boy was on the way
God gave me another you to love and protect me
