Lyrics

[Verse 1] A song was playing in a little music store A stranger walked in looking for something more He special ordered a CD just to walk back through that door Sat down for lunch and the whole world went still Two hearts just staring, knowing somehow they will Find something real, something time could never steal [Chorus] You took my hand and you stayed Through every storm, every twist in the road we made From broken ground you built a life brand new Enrique, my heart belongs to you [Verse 2] I told you the truth, said I had three little ones You just smiled and said your journey had begun You saved us from the dark, you gave us back the sun Then three more blessings came along the way A family of eight, more love with every day A combat medic's heart that never walked away [Chorus] You took my hand and you stayed Through every storm, every twist in the road we made From broken ground you built a life brand new Enrique, my heart belongs to you [Bridge] From Guam to Germany, Hawaii to New York You carried us through every single mile Now the grandkids run to papa at the door And you greet them with that same old smile [Verse 3] Thirty-four years since that quiet afternoon A little lunch date underneath a summer moon You always say we're the best roommates in the room My hero, my rock, my soulmate through it all From a music store to Colorado fall Enrique, you answered every call [Chorus] You took my hand and you stayed Through every storm, every twist in the road we made From broken ground you built a life brand new Enrique, my heart belongs to you [Outro] We belong together, now and evermore You're still the one I'm living for
