Terry

Standing at the 7-Eleven, feeling broken down

Florida and El Cajon Boulevard, the hardest streets in town

Calling the cops for my stolen birds, my world was falling through

Then I looked up and saw a stranger, and that stranger, it was you

You saw my tears, you made a muscle, you smiled and said, "Feel that"

You walked me back to where I was staying, and changed where my life was at

Terry, you’re the angel who saved my life

Guarded my soul through the trouble and strife

Handsome and dependable, faithful and brave

You’re the sanctuary that I always craved

Twenty-four years of a love so true

I thank God every day for you

I gave you my number, you called me up, we went to Carl’s Jr. to eat

You handed me a little snow globe, and swept me off my feet

A mom and baby panda bear, playing a tune called "Born Free"

That’s exactly how my spirit felt when you were sitting next to me

So clean and healthy, you always know just how to make me smile

I knew right then, my funny man, we'd go the extra mile

Terry, you’re the angel who saved my life

Guarded my soul through the trouble and strife

Handsome and dependable, faithful and brave

You’re the sanctuary that I always craved

Twenty-four years of a love so true

I thank God every day for you

Twice the shadows tried to break us, evil whispering lies

False friends and dangerous men brought darkness to my eyes

But you stood your ground, a prayer warrior in the night

You didn't give up on me, you fought the holy fight

You kept me from the fire, you shielded me from harm

I found my peace and safety right inside your strong arms

Terry, you’re the angel who saved my life

Guarded my soul through the trouble and strife

Handsome and dependable, faithful and brave

You’re the sanctuary that I always craved

Twenty-four years, and you still have my back

My prayer warrior, keeping me on track
