The Girl of Sixteen Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a girl of sixteen years Who built her walls from all her fears She wouldn't let a soul come near Afraid to hope, afraid to feel Then someone showed her love was real And taught her heart again to heal [Chorus] You're my moon, you're my stars above You're the truest kind of love In your arms I'm safe and free Forever's what I finally see Brown eyes that say I'm understood A love that always knew it would [Verse 2] Thirty-eight years we've walked this road Sometimes light, sometimes a heavy load Like a ship out on the sea We held on tight, just you and me Through every laugh and every tear You've been my anchor, year by year [Chorus] You're my moon, you're my stars above You're the truest kind of love In your arms I'm safe and free Forever's what I finally see Brown eyes that say I'm understood A love that always knew it would [Bridge] Oh Steve, my first, my only one The bravest heart, the steady sun Strong enough to teach me trust Loving enough for all of us [Verse 3] So here's my hand, here's my whole song The place where I have always belonged Through every storm, through calm and gray I'll choose you, Steve, every single day Till death do part this love we've grown You're the only love I've ever known [Chorus] You're my moon, you're my stars above You're the truest kind of love In your arms I'm safe and free Forever's what I finally see Brown eyes that say I'm understood A love that always knew it would [Outro] Oh Steve, my forever, my friend My only love until the end
