The Shoe You Came to Find

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen ninety-nine, a chance encounter Friends of friends, a quiet night Never knew that random meeting Would set the rest of life alight You asked me leave my shoe behind Like Cinderella, you'd come find me [Chorus] And you stayed, oh you stayed Through every season, every change With a quiet kind of faith And a love that never ran away Thank God for the road that led me to you For the gentle, steady, beautiful truth [Verse 2] I told you 'bout my baby girl You didn't blink, you didn't bend You stepped right in with open arms Became her daddy, became my friend Then another daughter, then the twins A family circle, love within [Chorus] And you stayed, oh you stayed Through every season, every change With a quiet kind of faith And a love that never ran away Thank God for the road that led me to you For the gentle, steady, beautiful truth [Bridge] Lazaro, my steady ground When the world got loud, you brought the calm Long hard hours, the badge you wore Still came home and gave us more [Verse 3] Now in Georgia, in our home Built on laughter, built on grace I see your integrity, your strength The quiet hope upon your face Babe, as the years roll on I can't imagine one without you [Chorus] And you stay, oh you stay Through every season, every change With a quiet kind of faith And a love that never runs away Thank God for the road that led me to you For the gentle, steady, beautiful truth [Outro] Lazaro, my peace, my own Forever grateful, forever home
