Second Best in Heaven

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started in a room of hopeful hearts, A church of strangers waiting for a spark. I wasn't looking, but the good Lord knew, And there across the floor I found you— Green eyes shining, standing tall, The kindest listener of them all. [Chorus] Oh Debbie, you're my faith, my hope, my peace, The gentle love that never seems to cease. Through every high and every low we've known, You put up with me and called it home. Twenty-eight years of joy so true, Every single day, I'd choose you. [Verse 2] We married back in '97 spring, Two golden hands and one small ring. No little ones to fill our door, But those sweet pups, we loved them more. They were our children, tried and true, A house of grace we built, us two. [Chorus] Oh Debbie, you're my faith, my hope, my peace, The gentle love that never seems to cease. Through every high and every low we've known, You put up with me and called it home. Twenty-eight years of joy so true, Every single day, I'd choose you. [Bridge] And when I reach those pearly shores, I'll thank the Lord for all He's for— I pray I'm your second best, it's true, Behind our Christ, still close to you. [Verse 3] Hawaii sunsets, sand and sea, Your hand in mine, just you and me. Blond hair blowing in the breeze, You brought my restless heart to peace. Go on and shop the whole day through— There's nothing I won't give to you. [Chorus] Oh Debbie, you're my faith, my hope, my peace, A love the good Lord promised me. Through every high and every low we've known, You put up with me and called it home. [Outro] Twenty-eight years, and still brand new, Forever, girl, I'm loving you.
