Still As One

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A crowded platform, a nervous heart Two strangers standing in the dark Brooklyn lights and a leap of faith Something whispered, "Don't be late" Grand Street station, the doors slid wide And there you were on the other side [Chorus] Still as one through the turning years Through the laughter and the tears Hand in hand like that very first night You're my shelter, you're my light Forty years and I'd do it again Still as one now as we were then [Verse 2] Villa Maria, a candlelit room Red wine glowing like the moon I asked permission, you said okay A kiss on your forehead sealed the day Maria, I knew right there and then My world would never be the same again [Chorus] Still as one through the turning years Through the laughter and the tears Hand in hand like that very first night You're my shelter, you're my light Forty years and I'd do it again Still as one now as we were then [Bridge] Faith carried us when the road got steep Hope held the promises we'd keep But love, Maria, love's the thread Woven through every word we've said [Verse 3] Thirty-eight years wearing that ring Through every season, through everything You're the prayer I didn't know to pray The grace that meets me every day Maria, you're still the one I choose The blind date blessing I'll never lose [Chorus] Still as one through the turning years Through the laughter and the tears Hand in hand like that very first night You're my shelter, you're my light Forty years and I'd do it again Still as one now as we were then [Outro] From Grand Street station to forever more Maria, you're what my heart beats for
