Third Time Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes love don't hit you right away Sometimes you gotta pass it by Took me three times just to see what was there Three times before I opened my eyes But when I finally stopped and paid attention Everything inside me knew [Chorus] Mary Stewart Candler, you're the one Twenty-seven years and I'd do it all again Through every storm we've weathered under the sun You're my beginning and my end I'd choose you now like I chose you then [Verse 2] Had our children never brought us close I might still be searching this whole world A mother's love for both of our children, Patrick and Roneisha Showed me what your heart was made of, girl While I traveled far from town to town You held it all together on your own You pushed me to go finish my degree Mary Stewart Candler, you built our home [Chorus] Mary Stewart Candler, you're the one Twenty-seven years and I'd do it all again Through every storm we've weathered under the sun You're my beginning and my end I'd choose you now like I chose you then [Bridge] Everything you've overcome has made you strong Your compassion lights the way And everything you want in this life I pray it finds you every day [Verse 3] I've watched you carry more than most would bear And still you give with open hands You deserve the world and then some more I hope you know just where you stand Thank you for choosing me to be your man For trusting me with all your years [Chorus] Mary Stewart Candler, you're the one Twenty-seven years and I'd do it all again Through every storm we've weathered under the sun You're my beginning and my end I'd choose you now like I chose you then [Outro] If I had a thousand lifetimes, love I'd marry you in every one
