My Forever, Dolly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A letter crossed the miles one day Words on paper found their way From Manila streets to Bicol skies Two young hearts began to rise A pen, a page, a quiet prayer Something holy written there [Chorus] You're my forever, you're my song The faith that kept me standing strong Through every mile and every year You're the joy that brought me here My comfort, my love, my guiding light You're my forever, every night [Verse 2] Santa Catalina, April rain I saw your face and knew your name A nursing student, gentle and true I was working my way through April twenty-first, you took my hand And Dolly, that's where love began [Chorus] You're my forever, you're my song The faith that kept me standing strong Through every mile and every year You're the joy that brought me here My comfort, my love, my guiding light You're my forever, every night [Bridge] You flew ahead, I followed you Across the ocean, love broke through And on that fifth day of May Before the Lord we chose to stay [Verse 3] Now three daughters carry what we made A grandson learning love's parade We lift our voices, side by side Singing in the choir with pride From penpals writing through the years To Dolly wiping all my tears Fifty-nine and fifty-eight Still believing love is fate [Chorus] You're my forever, you're my song The faith that kept me standing strong Through every mile and every year You're the joy that brought me here My comfort, my love, my guiding light You're my forever, every night [Outro] The greatest gift the Lord could send My Dolly, my love, my beginning and end
