My Sparky, My Forever Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a wild and lonely soul, Running from the ache I couldn't hold, Numbing every empty night, Searching for a distant light. Then a wedding back in '82, A best man's toast, and there stood you. [Chorus] Oh, the spark it caught and burned, Every lesson that I learned, Led me back to your embrace, Grace upon amazing grace. Debra Louise, you set me free, You're the healing part of me. [Verse 2] Twelve long years, just once a season, Alaskan lights, my only reason, A festival, a passing glance, Fate was waiting for its chance. Then I heard about your storm, And I called to keep you warm. [Chorus] Oh, the spark it caught and burned, Every lesson that I learned, Led me back to your embrace, Grace upon amazing grace. Debra Louise, you set me free, You're the healing part of me. [Bridge] At the Puffin Inn we talked all night, Two broken hearts began to right, Forgiveness poured like falling rain, And love came home to us again. [Verse 3] By Diamond Lake I dropped to my knees, Nine, nine, oh-nine, you brought me peace, Then that August day we vowed, Two lost roads that found the ground. My Sparky, my forever fire, You lifted me up higher and higher. [Chorus] Oh, the spark it caught and burned, Every lesson that I learned, Led me back to your embrace, Grace upon amazing grace. Debra Louise, you set me free, You're the healing part of me. [Outro] From a wedding to our own, You made this wanderer a home. Sparky, love, we've just begun, Two hearts finally beat as one.
