Stephanie

Sunlight fading on the dashboard glass

Watching the trees and the mile markers pass

Driving the backroads, just taking our time

Your hand resting quietly right here in mine

Every detour we take, every shadow we see

You bring a quiet kind of heaven to me

Stephanie, my heart is an open door

You’re the answer to what I was praying for

I can’t promise to love you the rest of your life

Through the changing of seasons, the joy and the strife

But with all that I am, and all of my time

I promise to love you the rest of mine

I think of your birthday, the glow on your face

The way that you fill up a room with your grace

You’re thoughtful and gentle, so quick to forgive

You teach me exactly how I want to live

I look at this ring and the promise we made

A foundation of kindness that never will fade

Stephanie, my heart is an open door

You’re the answer to what I was praying for

I can’t promise to love you the rest of your life

Through the changing of seasons, the joy and the strife

But with all that I am, and all of my time

I promise to love you the rest of mine

When the shadows grow long and the evening is dim

We’ll hold onto each other, we’ll hold onto Him

You are the blessing I could not earn

I will cherish this love at every turn

Oh, Stephanie, my heart is an open door

You’re the answer to what I was praying for

I can’t promise to love you the rest of your life

Through the changing of seasons, the joy and the strife

But with all of my soul, and all of my time

I promise to love you the rest of mine

Yes, I promise to love you the rest of mine
