The Way It Was Supposed To Be

The night we met I recall you said
How uncanny that we so compare
Took your hand haven't let go since

In a moment we found life, a new frontier
I leaned forward and wiped away a tear
No need to cry, my dear, you are found

You're still that boy across from me
Who kissed my soul, and danced with me

You said give me your hand
Give your heart?
Vow to never let go now we see
Who we are
Take this journey with me

The seasons changed as we travelled life
Learned more of heart and what goes into life
Got to know your momma too

Found the nerve to finally say,
Ma'am, this is for real
May I have his hand?
She wiped her cheek and said, "I found my other son"

So I dropped to one knee, in front of our family
Looked you in the eyes and said

Give me your hand
Give your heart?
Vow to never let go now we see
Who we are
Take this journey with me

I can't promise smooth sailing ahead
But you'll be the captain of any ship I build
Let's leave nothing unsaid

I will fetch you the stars
Carve your name cross the sky
Anything you wish for
I swear I'll try

So won't you give me your hand
Please, give your heart?
Vow to never let go now we've found
Who we are

If the heavens should fall, and the sun cease to shine
Still I'll find peace in the love in your eyes
Take this journey with me
