I Knew Before Hello

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things you just know from the start A feeling deep inside your heart Before a single word is said A voice that whispers "that's the one ahead" She told her friend that very day "I'm gonna marry him someday" [Chorus] Hand in hand through every road we've known Forty-three years and still heading home Every door I hold, every step beside You're my joy, my comfort, my pride And I'd choose you a thousand times again My forever love, my best friend [Verse 2] We can't recall where it began That first hello, that first held hand But Laurie, what I know is true Every good thing leads me back to you You filled my days with light and grace Put a smile where doubt had left its place [Chorus] Hand in hand through every road we've known Forty-three years and still heading home Every door I hold, every step beside You're my joy, my comfort, my pride And I'd choose you a thousand times again My forever love, my best friend [Bridge] No map for where this love would go But Laurie, darling, all I know Is walking next to you feels right Morning, noon, and deepest night [Verse 3] So when the world gets loud and fast I hold your hand and let it pass Still reaching for you in a crowd Laurie, you still make my heart beat loud You're the gladness in my everyday Wouldn't want it any other way [Chorus] Hand in hand through every road we've known Forty-three years and still heading home Every door I hold, every step beside You're my joy, my comfort, my pride And I'd choose you a thousand times again My forever love, my best friend [Outro] Still walking side by side with you Laurie, my darling, my whole world come true
