Your Tender Heart Still Lights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two young hearts in crowded halls, Passing by those high school walls, Never knowing what would be, When your eyes first looked at me. A gentle grace, a softer light, God was writing us that night. [Chorus] By faith we found this love, A blessing from above, Through every season, come what may, Your tender heart still lights my way. With gratitude I sing it true, There's no one I would choose but you. [Verse 2] After that first date we shared, You leaned in, my Orpha, and I knew right there— That kiss, oh how my whole world turned, The truest love a man has learned. Blond hair shining, warm and free, Your smile still means the world to me. [Chorus] By faith we found this love, A blessing from above, Through every season, come what may, Your tender heart still lights my way. With gratitude I sing it true, There's no one I would choose but you. [Bridge] Forty years and still I fall, Hickey monster, through it all, Through the hopes and the forgiving, You made this a life worth living. [Verse 3] Orpha loves to go thrifting, Loving kids and cats and chickens too, The Brown Palace by the sound, Garden Valley, hope we found. Eyes that sparkle, soft your touch, My "mah," I love you oh so much. [Chorus] By faith we found this love, A blessing from above, Through every season, come what may, Your tender heart still lights my way. With gratitude I sing it true, There's no one I would choose but you. [Outro] Orpha, be blessed, my love, A gift sent from above, I always have, I always will, My whole heart, my Orpha, still.
