Words Long Overdue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads wind through the rain Before the sun breaks through Some hearts have to learn the hard way What they almost had to lose We started back in eighty-three Two kids who didn't know That love would test us to the bone Before it let us grow [Chorus] Jennie, I should've said it more Every single day before Through the distance and the years apart You never left my heart So here I am with words long overdue Jennie, I'm still in love with you [Verse 2] November eighty-nine we said our vows Thought that was the easy part But life came down like thunder clouds And tore us miles apart Still something held like river roots Too deep to pull away Our love was strong enough to call Us back to where we'd stay [Chorus] Jennie, I should've said it more Every single day before Through the distance and the years apart You never left my heart So here I am with words long overdue Jennie, I'm still in love with you [Bridge] I wasted time in silence When I should've held you near But every word I never spoke I'm laying right here [Verse 3] Now the gray is in our hair And the rushing days have slowed I want to walk beside you down Every single road No more separation, no more pride Just mornings next to you Our best years, darling, are the ones We haven't wandered through [Chorus] Jennie, I should've said it more Every single day before Through the distance and the years apart You never left my heart So here I am with words long overdue Jennie, I'm still in love with you [Outro] Growing old was meant for us Hand in hand, built on trust I'm never letting go again My love, my Jennie, my best friend
