My Forever, My Still

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet on the water this morning Where the mist meets the rising sun And I sit with a cup and a memory Of the life that we'd just begun Twenty years felt just like a heartbeat A gift that the good Lord sent down [Chorus] Oh, the love don't leave when the body does It lingers in the songs we sang In the tenderness, in the holding on In the joy that you brought, the way you'd laugh I carry you with me, I always will My soul mate, my forever, my still [Verse 2] Remember those fishing expeditions And that tinny you tried to teach me to row You'd laugh till your eyes started watering "Darlin', you'll get it, just go slow" Concerts under summer evenings Quiet dinners, just us two [Chorus] Oh, the love don't leave when the body does It lingers in the songs we sang In the tenderness, in the holding on In the joy that you brought, the way you'd laugh I carry you with me, I always will My soul mate, my forever, my still [Bridge] Lee, you were courage, you were kindness Selfless care in every touch A gift from God I never deserved But oh, I loved you so much [Verse 3] So I'll keep on living the brave way The way you always showed me how With laughter in the ordinary hours And your hand still guiding me now Lee, my darlin', I feel you near me In the water, the wind, the dawn [Chorus] Oh, the love don't leave when the body does It lingers in the songs we sang In the tenderness, in the holding on In the joy that you brought, the way you'd laugh I carry you with me, I always will My Lee, my forever, my still [Outro] Twenty years of beautiful memories And a love that's never gone Goodnight, my sweet love, goodnight
