First Kiss at the Lake

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Funny how a story starts With walls around a guarded heart I didn't see you coming through Didn't think I'd fall for you But respect became a quiet flame A best friend who knew my name [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made Through every storm, through every change Hand in hand, we found our way Building something built to stay A family forged in fire and grace Every road led to this place [Verse 2] A first kiss down by the lake Two hearts learning what's at stake We walked through fire to be free You chose me, and I chose we Blended hearts beneath one roof Every laugh became our proof [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made Through every storm, through every change Hand in hand, we found our way Building something built to stay A family forged in fire and grace Every road led to this place [Bridge] For the one we held too briefly, For the ones who call us home, Carl, we carry every heartbeat, We have never walked alone [Verse 3] So here's to ordinary days, Coffee mornings, tired ways, To the children, ours and yours, To the love that opened doors Carl, my best friend, still my flame, I'd walk it all again the same [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made Through every storm, through every change Hand in hand, we found our way Building something built to stay A family forged in fire and grace Every road led to this place [Outro] Just because, I'm telling you, Carl, my heart still picks you too Just because, and always will, Loving you, I love you still
