Berkeley, Ninety-Four

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There are stories that begin so slow, With a glance across a crowded floor. Berkeley summer, ninety-four, A scholar's smile I couldn't ignore. Just out the service, finding my way, Felt like home from the very first day. [Chorus] And oh, what a love, what a beautiful find, Two different worlds, but the same kind of kind. Through devotion and faith, through joy and through years, You're the answer to every prayer. Thank God I found you here. [Verse 2] Four long years before we'd say "This is forever, come what may." But everyone who saw us knew, There was something rare, something true. We built our spaces, side by side, Your style and mine, our quiet pride. [Chorus] And oh, what a love, what a beautiful find, Two different worlds, but the same kind of kind. Through devotion and faith, through joy and through years, You're the answer to every prayer. Thank God I found you here. [Bridge] David, you brought the families in, Wove us together, kin to kin. You and sweet Riley light the street, Every neighbor you greet. [Verse 3] That curious mind, those endless whys, The questions dancing in your eyes. Your enthusiasm, contagious flame, Lights every room that hears your name. David, my partner, my truest friend, I'd walk this road again and again. [Chorus] And oh, what a love, what a beautiful find, Two different worlds, but the same kind of kind. Through devotion and faith, through joy and through years, You're the answer to every prayer. Thank God I found you here. [Outro] The luckiest man, that's what I am, With David's hand in my hand.
