The Keeper of Our Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty years ago this June Underneath a tavern moon A wallflower and a country boy Crossed paths and found a quiet joy Two families from the same old pew Somehow God knew what He'd do [Chorus] It must've been the keeper of the stars Who lined up every piece of who we are Through laughter, loss, and everything between You've been the steady hand I've always seen A love that holds, a love that stays The kind that only deepens with the days [Verse 2] Three hours late that first golf day But somehow I still let you stay We danced through marathon sunsets long Built a life on love and song At Lino's table, you got down And placed forever in my crown [Chorus] It must've been the keeper of the stars Who lined up every piece of who we are Through laughter, loss, and everything between You've been the steady hand I've always seen A love that holds, a love that stays The kind that only deepens with the days [Bridge] Oh Cory, when the storms rolled through And took the men we loved, I leaned on you You held our girls, you held my heart Never once did your faith depart [Verse 3] Karly, Kayla, you and me A patient love, a family tree You still swear you're gonna win At dominoes, that crooked grin But Cory Keilman, here's the truth I'd lose a thousand games with you [Chorus] It must've been the keeper of the stars Who lined up every piece of who we are Through laughter, loss, and everything between You've been the steady hand I've always seen A love that holds, a love that stays The kind that only deepens with the days [Outro] Thirty years, and still I know Wherever you go, my heart will go Cory, you're my forever song
