Better Than What If

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in two thousand fourteen Bright lights on a Jacksonville night Two strangers in the same arena Never knowing love was in sight Three years later, paths crossed again A four-foot-ten brunette stole my heart But miles and a job in Atlanta Pulled our story apart [Chorus] But God had a plan all along Bringing us back where we belong Through every move and every mile Faith was guiding us all the while Now I thank Him every single day For the love that found its way [Verse 2] Memphis, Tennessee, two thousand nineteen One dinner and I knew it was true Every "what if" I'd been dreaming Was finally standing right next to you Nine months later came our Ethan A family built on grace from above Every doubt I ever carried Was answered by this love [Chorus] And God had a plan all along Bringing us back where we belong Through every move and every mile Faith was guiding us all the while Now I thank Him every single day For the love that found its way [Bridge] Happy birthday, sweet Toni Forty-three years of light The most loving soul I've ever known My blessing, my reason, my life [Verse 3] Wherever this road may take me You and Ethan are coming too I'll give you all that I'm able 'Cause you deserve a world that's true Turns out my reality Beats every "what if" I dreamed Toni, you're my proudest moment The answered prayer I needed [Chorus] Yeah God had a plan all along Bringing us back where we belong Through every move and every mile Faith was guiding us all the while Now I thank Him every single day For the love that found its way [Outro] Happy birthday, my Toni Forever and always, you and me
