The day I gave you my last name

מילים

[Verse 1] I remember you standing by that window, With that fire in your eyes, Looking like you owned the whole world, And I was just a passerby. But then you turned and looked right through me, And something deep inside me changed, One look at you in Taylorsville, And nothing's been the same. I never knew a single moment Could change a lifetime in a glance, But my heart was yours before I knew That love would have a chance. [Pre-Chorus] And I never could have dreamed back then, Of the road that we'd walk through, But every road that brought me here Was worth it to find you. [Chorus] Today I give you my last name, And forever give my heart, Through every storm and every season, Even when we're miles apart. You're my beginning and my ending, My answered prayer, my closest friend, And with God standing here between us, This love will never end. I loved you long before this moment, But today I'll make it known, I give you all I am, my darling, And a name to call your own. [Verse 2] They don't know the nights we've cried through, Or the battles that we've faced, They don't know the prayers we've whispered, Or the strength we've found in faith. And I know the road ain't easy, And tomorrow's still unknown, But I'd walk through every fire If it meant you're not alone. I found some old forgotten sermons, About the trials that we face, And I swear God put them in my hands To remind me of His grace. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause love ain't just the easy days, Or the promises we say, It's choosing one another And trusting God to lead the way. [Chorus] Today I give you my last name, And forever give my heart, Through every storm and every season, Even when we're miles apart. You're my beginning and my ending, My answered prayer, my closest friend, And with God standing here between us, This love will never end. I loved you long before this moment, But today I'll make it known, I give you all I am, my darling, And a name to call your own. [Bridge — Soft piano, emotional vocals] And when they say we're husband and wife, Before we do anything, I wanna bow my head beside you, And thank the Lord for everything. We'll ask Him to bless this marriage, To guide us through the years, To be the light when darkness comes, And the comfort through our tears. And someday when these walls are gone, And I can hold you through the night, I'll look into those same blue eyes, And thank God I made you mine. [Final Chorus — Powerful, full instrumentation] Today I gave you my last name, But you already had my soul, From that first look in Taylorsville, You made a broken heart feel whole. You're my beginning, middle, ending, My forever, my best friend, And with Jesus at the center, I'd choose you all again. No distance ever stood a chance, No walls could change what's true, And of all the things I've prayed for, God led my heart to you. [Outro — Soft acoustic guitar] Good morning, my beautiful bride, Our forever starts today, And even with these miles between us, Love has found a way. Just one more prayer, one promise, One lifetime to get through… All my love, always and forever, Your husband… I love you, Mrs. Welborn.
