The Park Bench Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A park bench and a summer breeze Two strangers meeting nervously No expectations, nothing planned Just conversation, heart in hand I drove home smiling, called my friend Said "I just met the one" right then [Chorus] I cross my heart and thank the stars For every road that led me to your arms Twenty-five years, still holding on Gary, you're the love I'm leaning on Through every season, every turn This fire just keeps learning how to burn [Verse 2] A blind date nobody could've guessed Would turn into a life this blessed You got down on one knee that night With George Strait playing, felt so right You promised me forever true And every word has carried through [Chorus] I cross my heart and thank the stars For every road that led me to your arms Twenty-five years, still holding on Gary, you're the love I'm leaning on Through every season, every turn This fire just keeps learning how to burn [Bridge] Seven kids around our table, laughing loud Gary, you're the faithful ground beneath us now The foundation holding everything in place I see forever written on your face [Verse 3] You lead this family with steady hands A quiet strength that understands I never dreamed I'd find this peace A love like ours that won't decrease With every passing day it's true I fall a little more for you [Chorus] I cross my heart and thank the stars For every road that led me to your arms Twenty-five years, still holding on Gary, you're the love I'm leaning on Through every season, every turn This fire just keeps learning how to burn [Outro] From that park bench to forever more You're everything I never knew I prayed for
