The Girl in the Green Sweater

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Neon hummin' on a Friday night Boots on the gravel in the parking light I'd been walkin' with a heart gone cold Thought the fire in me had all burned low Then a green sweater stopped me at the door And I knew right then I was lookin' for more [Chorus] Emily, you healed the broken pieces With your patient kind of love Now there's peace where there was thunder And a light sent from above You're my brand new beginning And I'll never be the same [Verse 2] Three months gone, then you came back around I was careful, keepin' feet on the ground Six weeks in, you were all the way in Never once made me rush to begin By month three you said, "Wherever you go, That's where I'll be," and my heart said so [Chorus] Emily, you healed the broken pieces With your patient kind of love Now there's peace where there was thunder And a light sent from above You're my brand new beginning And I'll never be the same [Bridge] We found our way back to the Lord Side by side on our knees The prayers I'd stopped believin' in Came back when you were holdin' me [Verse 3] Summer spent swingin' 'round the floor Line dancin' till we couldn't anymore Paddle boards driftin' on the morning lake Fallin' deeper with every wave You were ready, I was the slow burn Thank you, Emily, for waitin' while I learned [Chorus] Emily, you healed the broken pieces With your patient kind of love Now there's peace where there was thunder And a light sent from above You're my brand new beginning And I'll never be the same [Outro] That green sweater, that summer sun You lit the spark, and I'm finally home
