You Saw Forever in Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with roses Ours began on a broken night That hard February left us quiet But it made the future bright Jeni, just a few weeks later We said I do by candlelight [Chorus] You believed in me When all I had was potential and a prayer You saw a man I couldn't see And loved him like he was already there Thirty years, my comfort, my strength Lord, you believed in me [Verse 2] Thinking back to where it started I still remember our first date Your boy right there between us two Popcorn spilling, Toy Story playing I fell for both of you Then heaven sent a baby girl And a family's love came shining through [Chorus] You believed in me When all I had was potential and a prayer You saw a man I couldn't see And loved him like he was already there Thirty years, my comfort, my strength Lord, you believed in me [Bridge] When the money was thin and the road was long You never once let go Your faith was the ground I stood upon And it taught this heart to grow [Verse 3] Now five grandbabies come running Through the yard on Sunday afternoons Same porch, same hands, a little older Still dancing slow to our old tunes Jeni, I'd marry you tomorrow And every day the Lord lets me stay [Chorus] You believed in me When all I had was potential and a prayer You saw a man I couldn't see And you made sure that he got there Thirty years, my comfort, my strength Girl, you believed in me [Outro] Thirty years and still going strong Jeni, you're where I belong
