That December Dance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Friday night in December The air was cold, the lights were bright A crowded room, a stranger's laughter Something stirred and felt just right He stood across that saddle ranch floor And made me wait before the dance [Chorus] Love like ours was worth the waiting Every step and every chance Through the years of faith and falling We learned to hold with open hands Forgiveness wrote our sweetest chapters Hope kept lighting where we stand [Verse 2] Two weeks I held that number tightly Too scared to dial, too drawn to wait But when I finally found the courage Two hours flew like it was fate I heard your voice and knew, Rito My heart had found its resting place [Chorus] Love like ours was worth the waiting Every step and every chance Through the years of faith and falling We learned to hold with open hands Forgiveness wrote our sweetest chapters Hope kept lighting where we stand [Bridge] We built a family on a promise That even storms won't tear apart Rito, you're the answer to a prayer I didn't know was in my heart [Verse 3] December twelfth changed my whole story Your birthday night brought you to me Now every year I celebrate it The night that wrote our history Rito, through the grace and laughter You're still the one I choose to see [Chorus] Love like ours was worth the waiting Every step and every chance Through the years of faith and falling We learned to hold with open hands Forgiveness wrote our sweetest chapters Hope kept lighting where we stand [Outro] So here's to us, to all the years Rito, my love, my dance, my dear
