June of '99

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A friend once said, "Come on, just go, It's a free meal, what's the harm, you know?" I never cared for blind dates much, But June of '99 changed all of that One look, one smile, my heart was gone A country boy who felt like home [Chorus] You were the love I never knew I deserved The steady hands, the gentle word You made me whole, you made me see That someone could love the real me Through every season, every test, Our devotion's stood above the rest [Verse 2] Weeknights with supper and the TV glow, Weekends on the water, casting slow Your little girl beside us in the boat, Mama loved you from the very first hello By September you were down on one knee, October tenth, you married me [Chorus] You were the love I never knew I deserved The steady hands, the gentle word You made me whole, you made me see That someone could love the real me Through every season, every test, Our devotion's stood above the rest [Bridge] Oh Van, God dropped you right in my lap, And I thank Him for every step of that [Verse 3] We've worked hard for all we hold, Weathered every storm that rolled Now three grandbabies fill our days, Laughter ringing through the halls always Still smitten, Van, like that first night, You're the answered prayer, you're my whole life [Chorus] You are the love I never knew I deserved The steady hands, the gentle word You made me whole, you made me see That someone could love the real me Through every season, every test, Our devotion's stood above the rest [Outro] Van, my country boy, my home, Forever yours, I'm never alone
