Since 8th Grade, Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people search a lifetime For a love that feels like home A steady hand, a gentle heart So you never walk alone I remember back in 8th grade Just a friend who made me laugh Never knowing all along You were my better half [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I whispered long ago When I was done believing You were the one to show That love could still be patient That love could still be true Every day I'm grateful God gave me you [Verse 2] I'd given up on fairy tales Before you changed my mind You showed me how to see the world Through someone else's eyes Julian, you taught me patience Thinking outside the box Goofy smile and steady soul My safe place, my rock [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I whispered long ago When I was done believing You were the one to show That love could still be patient That love could still be true Every day I'm grateful God gave me you [Bridge] Two boys, a baby girl, and a love That started young and strong Julian, you carry us with honor You're where we all belong [Verse 3] Devoted, honest, genuine The man I always dreamed When we were only friends I prayed For exactly what you'd be You're protective and you're kind Smart and loving through and through Julian, happy birthday Nobody compares to you [Chorus] You're the answer to a prayer I whispered long ago When I was done believing You were the one to show That love could still be patient That love could still be true Every day I'm grateful God gave me you [Outro] From 8th grade to forever My best friend, my everything Happy birthday, Julian You're more than I could dream
