You Beside Me | Gail & Art Wedding

You Beside Me (Original Song) Verse 1 I still remember that island day, The sea was bright, the world felt far away. You were a stranger, but something felt right, So I gathered my courage and stood by your side. I asked for a picture, not knowing somehow, That moment would mean so much to me now. Pre-Chorus We went our separate ways, And years kept passing by, But maybe some stories Just wait for the right time. Chorus I took a chance when I first saw you, Never knowing where that moment would lead to. Years went by, then life brought you back, And this time, I knew I wouldn’t turn back. We opened our hearts, we gave love a try, And now I thank heaven you came back into my life. Verse 2 I know how much your father meant to you, How you were his little girl your whole life through. And I’ll always be grateful that before goodbye, He saw me standing there right by your side. I may never fill the space he left behind, But I promise to love you with all of my life. Chorus I took a chance when I first saw you, Never knowing where that moment would lead to. Years went by, then life brought you back, And this time, I knew I wouldn’t turn back. We opened our hearts, we gave love a try, And now I thank heaven you came back into my life. Bridge I may not always say the perfect words, But I’ll show you my love in the things I do. In long days of work, in meals made with care, In feeding the family and always being there. If cooking for you makes your whole face smile, Then I’ll gladly keep doing it all my life. Final Chorus I took a chance, and I’d take it again, From strangers that day to lovers and best friends. Through every season, through joy and through pain, I’ll choose you tomorrow like I choose you today. And if I could go back beneath that island sky, I’d still walk up to you, no fear, no goodbye. Outro It started with courage, A picture, a view, And somehow that moment Led me back to you. Now I know what forever Was always meant to be— You beside me, And me beside you.
