Larry

My daughter's boyfriend told me I should meet his dad

It was the greatest introduction that I ever had

On a New Year’s Eve, almost three years gone

I met the man I'd end up leaning on

I asked the Lord for a good man who cares

And looking at you, He answered my prayers

Oh, Larry, God knew exactly what we needed

After all the tough roads and the hearts left bleeding

He pulled us together right out of the dark

With your warm, gentle spirit and your big, loving heart

You're the hardworking soulmate I was waiting to find

Two paths coming together, perfectly timed

I see the way you love, with calluses and grace

Raised four kids on your own, put a smile on their face

Now you're raising two grandkids, giving all that you can

You've got the kindest soul of any family man

And when you took me to the drive-in for the very first time

Watching movies in the dark, I was glad you were mine

Oh, Larry, God knew exactly what we needed

After all the tough roads and the hearts left bleeding

He pulled us together right out of the dark

With your warm, gentle spirit and your big, loving heart

You're the hardworking soulmate I was waiting to find

Two paths coming together, perfectly timed

We both walked through shadows in the days before we met

Through tough relationships we'd rather forget

But every wrong turn just paved the way here

To my partner, my soulmate, who makes it all clear

Oh, Larry, God knew exactly what we needed

After all the tough roads and the hearts left bleeding

He pulled us together right out of the dark

With your warm, gentle spirit and your big, loving heart

You're the hardworking soulmate I was waiting to find

Thank God for that New Year's, when you became mine
