Natalie

It was fate that brought us back around

A second chance that we somehow found

Driving up to Massachusetts in the passenger seat

The deep conversations made the journey complete

You are thoughtful, sweet, kind, and wise

A beautiful soul right before my eyes

Natalie, I’m forever thankful for the days

And the lessons that you taught me in a million different ways

You will always be the one that got away

But my love for you is real, and it will never fade

No, it will never fade away

We walked the shadows down in Howe Caverns' stone

Then hiked up Vroman's Nose, just us alone

Laughing out loud, driving golf balls on the green

The most loving, funny girl I've ever seen

Hearing Warren play Jerry with the orchestra strings

I'll always cherish the joy that memory brings

Natalie, I’m forever thankful for the days

And the lessons that you taught me in a million different ways

You will always be the one that got away

But my love for you is real, and it will never fade

No, it will never fade away

I still think about the many nights we held each other tight

Wrapped up in the quiet of the fading light

You are generous and caring, with a heart so wide

I'm just grateful for the moments you were by my side

Oh, Natalie, I’m forever thankful for the days

And the lessons that you taught me in a million different ways

You will always be the one that got away

But my love for you is real, and it will never fade

No, it will never fade away

You're the one that got away, but my love won't fade away
