Second Chances and Stolen Glances

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seventeen and barefoot in the summer sun Two hearts didn't know what they'd begun Love at first sight on a back-road night Stars all whispered we were doing it right Then life took us down separate roads With different names and heavier loads [Chorus] But God had a plan we couldn't see Bringing you back home to me Through every prayer and every tear Faith was the road that led you here Thank you, Lord, for second chances For slow songs and stolen glances [Verse 2] Thirty-three years is a long way around But the moment our eyes met, oh, I found That same sweet boy from the summer of then Standing before me a grown-up man We didn't wait, we didn't waste a day Said I do and we meant every word we'd say [Chorus] 'Cause God had a plan we couldn't see Bringing you back home to me Through every prayer and every tear Faith was the road that led you here Thank you, Lord, for second chances For slow songs and stolen glances [Bridge] Five boys, one table, one beautiful mess A blended-up kind of holiness You saved me, Doug, and I saved you too That's just what real love's meant to do [Verse 3] You were my first kiss, my first slow dance My first taste of forever's chance Now you're my last cup of coffee at dawn The last pair of boots on the porch I lean on Devoted, grateful, joyful, and true Every day's a gift 'cause it's a day with you [Chorus] Yes, God had a plan we couldn't see Bringing my Doug back home to me Through every prayer and every tear Faith was the road that led you here Thank you, Lord, for second chances For slow songs and stolen glances [Outro] First love, last love, all love, it's true Doug, my forever is you
