The Ways That I Should

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The morning light falls soft and slow On years we've built, on all we know I've carried things I couldn't say The quiet weight of yesterday So let me start with what is true This song, my love, is just for you [Chorus] I have not loved you the ways that I should But God knows how deeply I would If I could gather back the time Undo the wrongs, unwind the lie I'd give it all just to make it good And love you now the ways that I should [Verse 2] Through every storm we somehow stayed Through all the words I should've weighed You held our home when I was gone You kept the light and led me home Oh Beth, you're grace I can't repay A steady heart that showed the way [Chorus] I have not loved you the ways that I should But God knows how deeply I would If I could gather back the time Undo the wrongs, unwind the lie I'd give it all just to make it good And love you now the ways that I should [Bridge] I wish I could live long enough To right all the things I've done wrong But here's my hand, and here's my heart A brand new page, a fresh new start [Verse 3] So take these words, my Beth, my dear Let old regret dissolve like fear Forgive the man I used to be And walk this new road here with me For every dawn we're given, I Will love you truer till I die [Chorus] I will love you the ways that I should And thank you for the years you stood I'll gather up the given time And spend it making our world shine I'd give it all to make it good And love you now the ways that I should [Outro] Oh Beth, my love, my truest friend I'll love you right until the end
