The Core Four

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two strangers in a crowded terminal, Friends on either side, no reason to believe, That fate had drawn a map we couldn't see, Newark morning light, a chance we couldn't leave. A vacation turned to something more, And somewhere in that laughter, love walked through the door. [Chorus] Oh Dawn, you're the answer to a prayer, Beneath the city lights I knew that I would always care, By the tree that glowed a hundred shades of gold, I asked you for forever, and forever's what we hold. [Verse 2] A year later we said our sacred vows, Two hearts, one faith, a promise we still keep, We built a home with laughter in the halls, Two boys asleep, a love that's running deep. Through every storm we found our way, His hand upon our family, guiding us each day. [Chorus] Oh Dawn, you're the answer to a prayer, Beneath the city lights I knew that I would always care, By the tree that glowed a hundred shades of gold, I asked you for forever, and forever's what we hold. [Bridge] Twenty-eight years, and still I feel it grow, The core four standing strong, wherever we may go. [Verse 3] So here's to all the roads we've yet to find, Another twenty-eight, and still you'll be my own, Whatever God will bring, I'm by your side, Dawn, my joy, my strength, my heart, my home. [Chorus] Oh Dawn, you're the answer to a prayer, Beneath the city lights I knew that I would always care, By the tree that glowed a hundred shades of gold, I asked you for forever, and forever's what we hold. [Outro] From a crowded gate to this quiet vow, I'd choose you all again, my love, my Dawn.
