Cherry Cake and Grace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The night shift hummed, the coffee poured, Three little hearts and me, unsure, I'd left the storm, I'd found the door, Just trying to build a life once more. Then you walked in, so quietly, Cherry cake donut, O.J. — meant to be. [Chorus] I turned and spoke, "How's my dress today?" You choked mid-bite, half-swept away. From strangers born a love so true, Every morning I still choose you. Faith carried us through every mile, Healing hearts, one more mile. [Verse 2] Three years we waited, hand in hand, Then wove our lives, a promised land. You loved my children as your own, Gave us a name, gave us a home. Mark Black, you steadied every fall, The bravest, kindest man of all. [Chorus] I turned and spoke, "How's my dress today?" You choked mid-bite, half-swept away. From strangers born a love so true, Every morning I still choose you. Faith carried us through every mile, Healing hearts, one more mile. [Bridge] Fifteen grandchildren fill the air, Five little greats now on the way, A garden grown from one small prayer, Blooming brighter every day. [Verse 3] Forty-two Augusts we have known, Look how the love that we have sown Turned quiet mornings into gold, A family more than dreams could hold. Mark, my beginning, my amen, I'd fall for you all over again. [Chorus] I turned and spoke, "How's my dress today?" You choked mid-bite, half-swept away. From strangers born a love so true, Every morning I still choose you. Faith carried us through every mile, Healing hearts, one more mile. [Outro] From a donut shop to endless days, Mark Black, my love, my hope, my grace. Forever yours, come what may.
