The Walk to the Store

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Slow steps on a campus road Autumn of seventy-nine Sunlight through the Langston trees Something shifted in my mind I looked into your eyes that day Told you they were heaven's design [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a gentle flame Built on grace and a holy name Through every season, every tide You've been the comfort by my side Thank the Lord for the joy we share Answered every whispered prayer [Verse 2] Took you home across the sea Bahama skies, my mama's smile Salt wind blessed our family Daddy held your hand a while That little Catholic church we knew Made me one with you [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a gentle flame Built on grace and a holy name Through every season, every tide You've been the comfort by my side Thank the Lord for the joy we share Answered every whispered prayer [Bridge] Veronica, you gave me sons Two little miracles, heaven-spun Veronica, my heart, my home Wherever you are, I'm never alone [Verse 3] No grand reason for this song Just a Tuesday, just because After all these years gone by You're still my favorite cause Veronica, I'd choose again That walk to the store, that day, that when [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a gentle flame Built on grace and a holy name Through every season, every tide You've been the comfort by my side Thank the Lord for the joy we share Answered every whispered prayer [Outro] Veronica, my forever song With you is where I belong
