Twenty-Three Days to Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A screen and a spark, and a chance we didn't plan, Two hearts already promised to somebody else's hand. You said just one meeting would set your heart free — But God had other plans for you and me. [Chorus] Oh Alex, you're the answer to the prayers I prayed, The love I wished on every star that lit the dark away. Through every storm and every tear, you held on tight, My rock, my faith, my forever, my light. [Verse 2] A booth at Sean Patrick's, one ordinary night, Twenty-three days later, a beach and vows so right. Twenty-two years of weathering the rain, Lost in Florence laughing through the pain. [Chorus] Oh Alex, you're the answer to the prayers I prayed, The love I wished on every star that lit the dark away. Through every storm and every tear, you held on tight, My rock, my faith, my forever, my light. [Bridge] When the deepest sorrows came and took a part of me, You lifted up my broken heart and never let it be. A rock, a shelter, when I could not stand — You never once let go of my hand. [Verse 3] We built a brand new home from ash and from the fire, Filled it up with grandkids and the love we both desired. Three little dogs, an open door, a pantry wide, Family just down the road, and you here by my side. [Chorus] Oh Alex, you're the answer to the prayers I prayed, The love I wished on every star that lit the dark away. You still can make me smile, still make my heart take flight — My rock, my faith, my forever, my light. [Outro] So here's to twenty-two, and all the years to be — You're still the sweetest answer God ever gave to me.
