The Staring Problem

Lyrics

[Verse 1] New Year's Eve, ninety-five, the room was loud and bright I was waiting on a date who never showed that night But across the crowded floor, someone caught my eye A quiet stranger watching, and I marched up to ask why [Verse 2] "You got a staring problem?" — Lord, I can't believe I said He just smiled and apologized, and somehow we got led Into hours of talking, laughing as the night grew long Heaven knew that stood-up girl was right where she belonged [Chorus] 'Cause God knew what my heart would need A steady love, a place to breathe Faith and grace walked in that door Gave me everything I was praying for Twenty-eight years, still holding on Dave, you're my forever song [Verse 3] Four little blessings later — two boys and twin girls too A house full of noise and laughter, every dream come true Through every storm and sunrise, you've been my solid ground The safest place my heart has ever found [Chorus] 'Cause God knew what my heart would need A steady love, a place to breathe Faith and grace walked in that door Gave me everything I was praying for Twenty-eight years, still holding on Dave, you're my forever song [Bridge] Some call it luck, but I call it grace The way the Lord drew me to your face Devotion deeper than I can say Thank you for choosing me that day [Verse 3] So here's to all the years still waiting up ahead Every quiet morning, every word we've said I'd cross that crowded room a thousand times anew Dave, my heart was always meant for you [Outro] New Year's Eve, ninety-five — I'm so glad I asked A lifetime built from love that's made to last
