Lyrics

[Verse 1] I packed my years in an old suitcase Left the Pacific light behind Figured love was a closed-up chapter Just a memory I'd leave in time Then California turned to New York And heaven had a plan in mind [Chorus] You're the beautiful surprise I never saw coming A prayer I didn't know how to pray God just dropped you in my life, Kathy And chased my grey away From our first glance to forever I'm home, and here I'll stay [Verse 2] I'd made my peace with quiet evenings One cup of coffee, one chair I never thought I'd find love again Then I turned, and you were there My warm and loving bunny With sunshine in your hair [Chorus] You're the beautiful surprise I never saw coming A prayer I didn't know how to pray God just dropped you in my life, Kathy And chased my grey away From our first glance to forever I'm home, and here I'll stay [Bridge] They say some doors close for good But He opened one for me It's never too late for love You're the proof I needed to see [Verse 3] So here's this ring and here's my heart Every mile led me to you Coast to coast, I crossed the country Just to find a love this true Kathy, I'm so grateful For the life we're stepping into [Chorus] You're the beautiful surprise I never saw coming My final love, my saving grace God just dropped you in my life And I see heaven in your face From our first glance to forever I'll be blessed in your embrace [Outro] It's never too late, darlin' Never too late, it's true My whole life was a long road Leading home to you, Kathy
