By the Elevator, '79

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that starts with a doubt, A workday like any I'd known. By the elevator, nineteen seventy-nine, Two strangers, not knowing they'd grown. I thought for sure it would never come true, But somebody kept coming through. [Chorus] Oh Carlos, you proved me wrong, Turned a maybe into a lifelong song. Loyal and caring, a gentle man, You built me a home with your own two hands. I love you beyond words, it's true, Forever and always, my Boo. [Verse 2] That persistence, it wore down my no, Till one small yes changed it all. In nineteen eighty we stood and we vowed, And you answered every call. You were like no one I'd ever met, A love I never could forget. [Chorus] Oh Carlos, you proved me wrong, Turned a maybe into a lifelong song. Loyal and caring, a gentle man, You built me a home with your own two hands. I love you beyond words, it's true, Forever and always, my Boo. [Bridge] You became a dad to Luis, your tea-tse, And years brought us Veronica's light. A husband, two kids, and a home to hold— My dream came true overnight. [Verse 3] Through storms and seasons you never once left, Steady as the rising sun. Strength in your quiet, peace in your eyes, Hope in the life we've begun. Every year is a gift I still see, The devotion you've given to me. [Chorus] Oh Carlos, you proved me wrong, Turned a maybe into a lifelong song. Loyal and caring, a gentle man, You built me a home with your own two hands. I love you beyond words, it's true, Forever and always, my Boo. [Outro] By that elevator our whole world began, My gentle, my loyal, my man.
