Behind That Counter Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a simple smile, Behind a counter, worth my while. I came back day by day to stay, Just to hear the things you'd say. A quiet spark, a gentle grin, That's how this whole sweet love began. [Chorus] Oh, through the years we held on tight, Through every storm and darkest night. With faith to guide and love to prove, There's nothing I would not do for you. Julie, my heart still beats for you, Fourteen years and it's still true. [Verse 2] The miles apart, the borders drawn, Sixteen months, I held on strong. We forgave the road, we kept the flame, And every dawn I called your name. You crossed back home, you took my hand, Together in this promised land. [Chorus] Oh, through the years we held on tight, Through every storm and darkest night. With faith to guide and love to prove, There's nothing I would not do for you. Julie, my heart still beats for you, Fourteen years and it's still true. [Bridge] You loved my mother as your own, Eight sweet years she wasn't alone. And when the springtime called her home, Your gentle grace, it carried on. [Verse 3] You dance around our little place, And laughter lights up all your face. I love you more than day one, More than the setting evening sun. Through comfort, faith, and memory, Julie, you're everything to me. [Chorus] Oh, through the years we held on tight, Through every storm and darkest night. With faith to guide and love to prove, There's nothing I would not do for you. My heart will always beat for you, Fourteen years and it's still true. [Outro] So dance with me, forever near, My love grows stronger year by year.
