Every Stoplight Led to You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things are written long before they start A feeling deep inside a knowing heart A girl of twenty, standing at the counter A tall man walked in and the world got quiet Like God just whispered, "That's the one for you" A love my heart knew before I knew it was you [Chorus] I have loved you for most of my whole life And I'd love you for every day that's left Through every stoplight, every twist of fate You're the place my restless heart found rest We're living in love and happiness together And I'd choose you all over again [Verse 2] We'd find each other everywhere we'd go At intersections, parking lots, hello Like the universe kept pulling us back closer Then December brought me home that year And there you were, the first face I could see At a red light right beside of me [Chorus] I have loved you for most of my whole life And I'd love you for every day that's left Through every stoplight, every twist of fate You're the place my restless heart found rest We're living in love and happiness together And I'd choose you all over again [Bridge] You held back your heart until that day When everything you'd built felt swept away I said "We have each other, come what may" And that's the night you finally let love stay [Verse 3] We made a home, we raised a beautiful girl Now she's grown and shining in this world We left that smokey small town far behind us Thirty years and now we watch the sun Slip beneath the water, gold and warm Your arms around me just like from the start The storms have come, the heartbreak and the flood You lost your dad so suddenly one year And when your mama needed all your strength You held her close through every final day And through it all I watched the love you gave And loved you even deeper than before We spend our days the way we always dreamed The ocean breeze and quiet in between After every road our hearts have traveled Together you and me is all we need [Chorus] Rick, I have loved you for most of my whole life Thirty-five years and forever to go Through every stoplight, every twist of fate You're the only home my heart has known Rick, we're still living in love and happiness together And I'd choose you all over again [Outro] So here we are where the ocean meets the sky Those same brown eyes, that same love in mine I knew it from the very start You were always written on my heart
