Heaven Knew That Summer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Behind the salon when my shift was done A parking lot in the setting sun I didn't know what God had planned Till a quiet boy reached out his hand Summer of '89, I can still recall The night I knew I'd found it all [Chorus] Thirty-five years, I'd choose you still Through every valley, every hill You held my hand, you held our home With you I've never walked alone Heaven knew that summer then And I'd say yes to you again [Verse 2] You worked those long days, never complained Came home with dirt and a smile the same Three baby girls in your steady arms You kept them safe from every harm Timmy, you showed them what love should be A daddy's heart for the world to see [Chorus] Thirty-five years, I'd choose you still Through every valley, every hill You held my hand, you held our home With you I've never walked alone Heaven knew that summer then And I'd say yes to you again [Bridge] We've had our storms, we've had our tears But we knelt down and prayed through the years And every time the road got rough Your love was always strong enough [Verse 3] Now the house is loud on Sunday nights Little ones running left and right Three sweet granddaughters, never still And a grandson coming home by God's will They call you Pap, and I'm Mom-mom Look at the family we've grown from Timmy, every sweet memory we've made Is a blessing on the path God laid [Chorus] Thirty-five years, I'd choose you still Through every valley, every hill You held my hand, you held our home With you I've never walked alone Heaven knew that summer then And I'd say yes to you again [Outro] Thirty-five years, and here we stand Still just a girl holding Timmy's hand
