Terry

Fourteen years old when our eyes first met

A love at first sight that I'll never forget

You were sweet, you were kind, so loyal and true

Amazing to me, I was wrapped up in you

We were inseparable, couldn't keep us apart

You had a permanent place in my heart

I still smile at the crazy lengths you would go

You stole a whole bus just to see me, just to let me know

Oh Terry, it’s been almost four decades now

Still hopelessly in love, I'm making this vow

I know you just got married, I have to step aside

But I will be in love with you until the day I die

If the future ever turns, if you're ever on your own

I’ll be waiting right here to welcome you home

I think about the night you stayed at my place

Tracing the moonlight across your face

We didn't make love, but the feeling was deep

Just talking and holding each other instead of sleep

Then my mom moved us out to a different state

We were both devastated by that cruel twist of fate

Came back a couple years later, hoping you'd make me stay

But you weren't at home, and my heart shattered that day

Oh Terry, it’s been almost four decades now

Still hopelessly in love, I'm making this vow

I know you just got married, I have to step aside

But I will be in love with you until the day I die

If the future ever turns, if you're ever on your own

I’ll be waiting right here to welcome you home

I can't do a thing about the way it is today

I respect the vows you made, so I'll stay out of your way

But nobody knows how the future unfolds

Or the turns of the road, or the secrets it holds

If the day ever comes when you are free

I'll be right here waiting, if you'll still have me

Oh Terry, it’s been almost four decades now

Still hopelessly in love, I'm making this vow

I know you just got married, I have to step aside

But I will be in love with you until the day I die

If the future ever turns, if you're ever on your own

I’ll be waiting right here to welcome you home
