A Knock Upon My Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a knock upon my door A simple question, nothing more Two weeks of talking on the phone First date in five years, no longer alone You had two kids, I had two And somehow love just pulled us through [Chorus] Forty-seven years of holding on Through every season, every song The ballparks, rinks, the Friday lights We always found each other's eyes Love don't leave, it just transforms Carries me through every storm [Verse 2] Six years dating, then we said I do Built a busy life, just me and you Baseball summers, hockey snow Football Fridays, watching our kids grow And when the house got quiet and still It was always us, and always will [Chorus] Forty-seven years of holding on Through every season, every song The ballparks, rinks, the Friday lights We always found each other's eyes Love don't leave, it just transforms Carries me through every storm [Bridge] December came and took the light A hospital room, that final night The kids came in, we said goodbye And Rita learned how hard it is to cry [Verse 3] I'm not always fine, I'll tell you true Some days I'm angry, some days blue Still trying to find who Rita is After being half of his But healing comes in quiet ways Forgiveness grows through harder days [Chorus] Forty-seven years of holding on Your love still echoes, you're not gone I carry courage, I carry grace I see your smile in every place Love don't leave, it just transforms Rita's heart still beating warm [Outro] A knock upon a door, that's how it starts Rita, you still carry him inside your heart
