The Gate Where Love Began

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty years ago on a summer day I was lost without a place to stay Then I found a gate, a grandmother's yard A girl with hazel eyes who stole my heart We walked down to the swimming hole And something started healing in my soul [Chorus] Always and forever, that's what I promise you Through every storm and struggle we've been through You're the rock I lean on when the world gets rough Heather Lynn, your love has been enough [Verse 2] I still wear the scar from your rose quartz stone A mark that proved I'd finally found a home I was nothing much, just a restless man But you saw something more and took my hand When the battles came for your body and bones You fought through every one, never once alone [Chorus] Always and forever, that's what I promise you Through every storm and struggle we've been through You're the rock I lean on when the world gets rough Heather Lynn, your love has been enough [Bridge] Four beautiful children, a life we built from dust You carried more than anyone, and never lost your trust Those beautiful curves and that golden soul You gave me everything and made me whole [Verse 3] From a kid with nothing to the man I am It's all because you held me in your hands Every sacrifice you made along the way Is the reason I can stand here proud today We got a long and loving road ahead Heather Lynn, I'd choose you all again [Chorus] Always and forever, that's what I promise you Through every storm and struggle we've been through You're the rock I lean on when the world gets rough Heather Lynn, your love has been enough [Outro] Twenty years and I'd do it all the same Starting at that gate where love became our name
