Love Came Home to Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids on a summer street Barefoot in the August heat Something in the way she smiled Made the whole world stop a while Back in nineteen sixty-four Love was knocking at the door [Chorus] Some things time can never steal Some things only time reveals Through the years and miles between You were always in my dream Like a prayer that found its way Love came home to stay [Verse 2] She chose the roots, the steady ground The little streets of that old town I chased the horizon, wild and free Searching for what was calling me But every road I wandered down Led me back to where she's found [Chorus] Some things time can never steal Some things only time reveals Through the years and miles between You were always in my dream Like a prayer that found its way Love came home to stay [Bridge] Decades passed like rolling clouds But faith was working through the crowds Bringing two hearts back around To the place where love was found [Verse 3] Mary, when I saw your face again Every year just melted then That girl I knew still shining through Every beautiful thing about you Now Mary, hand in hand we'll walk this road Forever's the only word I know Mary, you were worth the wait God's timing's never late [Chorus] Some things time can never steal Some things only time reveals Through the years and miles between You were always in my dream Like a prayer that found its way Love came home to stay [Outro] From sixty-four to eternity Mary, you were meant for me
