Forever, Not Five Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a message, a spark across a screen That May I couldn't picture all the life we'd come to mean We finally met for dinner, sat and shared a quiet night Then talked at City Place till two, the world felt somehow right [Chorus] And I fell so fast, I couldn't slow it down Two hearts that had been broken finally found solid ground God was writing something, more than I could see Sherri, you're the blessing that He sent to me [Verse 2] We surfed the morning waters, dove beneath the blue The Florida Keys held sunlight, but I only looked at you I said I had a five-year plan, but darling that's a lie I had a forever with you, till the ocean meets the sky [Chorus] And I fell so fast, I couldn't slow it down Two hearts that had been broken finally found solid ground God was writing something, more than I could see Sherri, you're the blessing that He sent to me [Bridge] Six children, one new family, we learned to love and mend Forgiveness taught us grace, and made a stranger our best friend [Verse 3] On Jupiter's white beaches, I made you my bride Saint Lucia held our promise, with heaven at our side At Calvary we found Him, He guides us hand in hand And every step's a blessing in the life that we have planned [Chorus] And I fell so fast, I couldn't slow it down Two hearts that had been broken finally found solid ground God was writing something, more than I could see Sherri, you're the blessing that He sent to me [Outro] My best friend, my forever, my heart's steady tide Sherri, I love you, now and always by my side
