The Night of the Ball

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had closed the door on fairy tales Locked my heart and hid the key Said I'd never let nobody in again Told myself that's where I'd be Then the night was dressed in gold and light And a stranger crossed the floor [Chorus] You're the prayer I whispered in the dark The answer I stopped waiting for Every gentle word, every patient touch Is everything and so much more You're the love that faith kept promising The one worth holding on for [Verse 2] The night of the ball, you reached for my hand And something shifted in the air I wasn't looking, wasn't ready at all But somehow you were standing there Anthony, you swept me off my feet that night Like heaven wrote the plans [Chorus] You're the prayer I whispered in the dark The answer I stopped waiting for Every gentle word, every patient touch Is everything and so much more You're the love that faith kept promising The one worth holding on for [Bridge] Patient when I couldn't trust these feelings Kind when I was learning how to stay Anthony, you gave me reassurance That love was never meant to walk away [Verse 3] You showed me what devotion really means With steady hands and open arms A new beginning I was scared to dream Now I'm safe inside your calm Anthony, you're the best thing in my world And I'll spend my life thanking God for you [Chorus] You're the prayer I whispered in the dark The answer I stopped waiting for Every gentle word, every patient touch Is everything and so much more You're the love that faith kept promising The one worth holding on for [Outro] I gave up on love the day we met But you brought it back to me Anthony, you're my answered prayer And everything I need
