Long Time Coming

Lyrics

[Verse 1] June of '97, a chair across from you Day before my birthday, I had no clue That those pretty lips and that gentle smile Would change my whole life in a little while Best gift I ever got, wrapped up in grace The moment I looked into your face [Chorus] Oh, it's been a long time coming Through every tear, through every song You and I forever, baby Right where we both belong Still standing, still standing strong [Verse 2] Nine long years of breaking, making up Chasing dreams from an empty cup I used to dream of a love I couldn't find Different faces haunting my mind Then you came and the dreams stood still 'Cause baby, you were always real [Chorus] Oh, it's been a long time coming Through every tear, through every song You and I forever, Belita Right where we both belong Still standing, still standing strong [Bridge] We lost our Taylor, felt the sky fall down But love kept holding when grief came around Three sons, one heart, one steady flame Belita, I'd choose it all again [Verse 3] Hardest worker, the kindest soul The mother who made our family whole Every storm we walked on through There's no one I'd rather lose and find than you From that first hello to this very day My heart still knows there's no other way [Chorus] Oh, it's been a long time coming Through every tear, through every song You and I forever, Belita Right where we both belong Still standing, still standing strong [Outro] Happy anniversary, my love You're the gift I'm still dreaming of
