The Sweetest Part of My Story

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some bonds were written long before we knew, In our mamas' prayers, in the morning dew. Grandmothers laughed on a front porch swing, Planting roots for everything. Two little girls in matching shoes, Born to walk the road we'd choose. [Chorus] Oh, what a friend, what a gift, what a grace, A love the years could never erase. Through every valley, every shore, God gave me you, and so much more. Lift up your hands, let heaven sing, For all the joy this life can bring. [Verse 2] Three years ahead, you held my hand, Big sister heart, you understand. We cried for Ronnie, held that pain, Walked through sun and walked through rain. When both our daddies went on home, Tonya, I was not alone. [Chorus] Oh, what a friend, what a gift, what a grace, A love the years could never erase. Through every valley, every shore, God gave me you, and so much more. Lift up your hands, let heaven sing, For all the joy this life can bring. [Bridge] Vegas lights on your fortieth night, Beaches glowing, salt and light. Six kids between us, faith runs deep, Promises our souls will keep. [Verse 3] Happy birthday, my safe place, My sister born of love and grace. Another year the Lord has blessed, Tonya, you're the very best. Here's to mornings yet to come, Hallelujahs still unsung. [Chorus] Oh, what a friend, what a gift, what a grace, A love the years could never erase. Through every valley, every shore, God gave me you, and so much more. Lift up your hands, let heaven sing, For all the joy this life can bring. [Outro] Tonya, sing it, glory, glory, You're the sweetest part of my story.
