Walls and Gentle Winning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seventeen years ago, I found you there A message sent on faith, a whispered prayer From Charlotte nights to dreams we'd never planned I was guarded, broken, scared to take your hand But you stayed patient, never walked away And here we are, still standing here today [Chorus] Larry, you're my new beginning Every wall I built, your love kept winning From Savannah sunsets to Paris lights You held me through the storms, through endless nights Your heart so pure, your smile so true Larry, all I want is forever with you [Verse 2] Hampton, you would call me, soft and sweet Christian Mingle brought two souls to meet Across the country, twice we made that drive With you beside me, I learned how to survive I was sitting in my hurt, afraid you'd leave But Pratt, you showed me what it means to believe [Chorus] Larry, you're my new beginning Every wall I built, your love kept winning From Savannah sunsets to Paris lights You held me through the storms, through endless nights Your heart so pure, your smile so true Larry, all I want is forever with you [Bridge] Forgive me for the times I couldn't give You taught my guarded heart how to live Eight years of marriage, seventeen of love You're everything I'm grateful for [Verse 3] Maui mornings, London's gentle rain Jamaica's shores washed away the pain From Chicago winds to where the palm trees sway There's no one else I'd choose to walk this way Your love unwavering, gentle to the core This anniversary, I'm yours forevermore [Chorus] Larry, you're my new beginning Every wall I built, your love kept winning From Savannah sunsets to Paris lights You held me through the storms, through endless nights Your heart so pure, your smile so true Larry, all I want is forever with you [Outro] Here's to us, and all that's yet to be Larry, you're my home, my destiny
