The Parking Lot Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two hearts not quite ready, seeking shelter from the rain A Labor Day weekend, trading comfort for the pain The road was never easy, forgiveness paved the way We hung on for the family through each ordinary day [Chorus] Love found us twice, like God had drawn the plan Once to teach us grace, and once to understand That some things fall apart so they can bloom again Love found us twice, and this time it won't end [Verse 2] Thirty-two years together, raising kids side by side Doing what we had to, swallowing the pride But once the nest was empty, we could feel the distance grown The papers said it's over, but our souls had minds of their own [Chorus] Love found us twice, like God had drawn the plan Once to teach us grace, and once to understand That some things fall apart so they can bloom again Love found us twice, and this time it won't end [Bridge] In a parking lot at Clark's, matter of fact and true Wayne said, "Let's do this right," the way that only he would do No hesitation in my answer, this was meant to be Our children and our grandkids there for all the world to see [Verse 3] You tease me that I raised you, but I know you raised me too Through every broken season, God was shaping something true Now golden years are glowing with a love that's strong and sure Wayne, I'd choose you all again, of that you can be sure [Chorus] Love found us twice, like God had drawn the plan Once to teach us grace, and once to understand That some things fall apart so they can bloom again Love found us twice, and this time it won't end [Outro] Two rings, two vows, one love that never died Wayne, I'm grateful God put you back by my side
