Our Carolina Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was ready to give up on love When a stranger called from miles away Eight hours talking, dawn to dusk Something told me I should stay From Carolina to Carolina Through the cold I made my way Sat at Mozelle's, hands wrapped tight And my frozen heart began to thaw that day [Chorus] Michael, you're my island in the stream You showed me faith I'd never seen Others bought me cut flowers but you shared your garden with me Michael, Baby, you're my answered prayer My Honey with the salt and pepper hair Every seed we plant together grows into who we're meant to be [Verse 2] You taught me patience, showed me peace Led me gently to believe Side by side we tore down walls And built a home from what we'd dreamed I never cared for Sunday football But I love to watch you scream At the Bengals on the TV While I'm falling more in love with everything [Chorus] Michael, you're my island in the stream You showed me faith I'd never seen Others bought me cut flowers but you shared your garden with me Michael, Baby, you're my answered prayer My Honey with the salt and pepper hair Every seed we plant together grows into who we're meant to be [Bridge] Three years of building something true Two houses, two gardens, one me and you Your blue eyes, your kind smile Made every single mile worthwhile [Verse 3] Now we sing along to our favorite songs Dancing in the kitchen light What's up with us is something real And Honey, it just feels so right You're devoted, understanding Six foot three of love and grace In this home we've made together I finally found my place [Chorus] Michael, you're my island in the stream You showed me faith I'd never seen Others bought me cut flowers but you shared your garden with me Michael, Baby, you're my answered prayer My Honey with the salt and pepper hair Every seed we plant together grows into who we're meant to be [Outro] From Facebook strangers, miles apart To gardens growing from one heart I love you, Michael, endlessly
