The Flower That Won't Fade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a simple thing, A handful of flowers in the spring. Nervous smile and an open door, Not knowing what our years had in store. Some loves just fade like morning dew, But something told me ours was true. [Chorus] And your love is strong enough To overcome my every mistake, Even in my angry moments, You forgive for our love's sake. Elsie, you're the fuel that keeps me, You're the flower that won't fade away, Twelve long years and I still choose you, More and more with every day. [Verse 2] We talk it out when times get hard, Words like medicine, they heal my heart. Conversation erases the wrong, Turns a broken night into a song. Still I wonder about you now, Curious as our first vow. [Chorus] And your love is strong enough To overcome my every mistake, Even in my angry moments, You forgive for our love's sake. Elsie, you're the fuel that keeps me, You're the flower that won't fade away, Twelve long years and I still choose you, More and more with every day. [Bridge] Your forgiveness is my greatest joy, A brand new start no storm can destroy. Grateful for the grace you give, You taught this heart how to truly live. [Verse 3] So here's a song instead of blooms, To fill up all our quiet rooms. No special day, no reason why, Just love that time will not deny. Elsie, take my grateful hand, Together always, that's the plan. [Chorus] And your love is strong enough To overcome my every mistake, Even in my angry moments, You forgive for our love's sake. [Outro] Like your flowers, we'll last forever, Me and you, my Elsie, together.
