My First Grade Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love is written in the stars Some love just takes its time Ours began in a classroom Two kids in a single line First grade, you sat beside me And you've been beside me ever since [Chorus] You're my blessing, you're my answer To every prayer I prayed Your faith lights up the darkness Your love will never fade Through every storm you're standing Strong as the day we said I do My love will never end, baby Forever, me and you [Verse 2] High school halls, I held your hand Walked you home beneath the moon June 30, 1990 We said forever in the month of June Then God gave us Alexis And Luis Junior too [Chorus] You're my blessing, you're my answer To every prayer I prayed Your faith lights up the darkness Your love will never fade Through every storm you're standing Strong as the day we said I do My love will never end, baby Forever, me and you [Bridge] Thirty-six years of blessings You still take my breath away Mary, you love with all you have Our family, our friends, and me each day [Verse 3] Now three grandbabies fill your arms And one more on the way I watch you rock them, sing them soft And teach them how to pray Mary Baez, my first grade girl My wife, my strength, my home [Chorus] You're my blessing, you're my answer To every prayer I prayed Your faith still lights the darkness Your love will never fade Thirty-six years, still standing Strong as the day we said I do My love will never end, baby Forever, me and you [Outro] From that classroom to forever My love will never end Mary, you're my wife, my blessing My heart, my best friend
