Joe luis

Early morning sunlight, you drop the kids at school

Then you come over visiting, it's our unspoken rule

Joe Luis, you sit with me, so patient and so kind

I hang on every word you say, you're always on my mind

You’re a Christian man, so loyal and so true

A loving father, and a handsome grandpa too

But these stolen moments always have to end

And I'm wishing I was more than just your friend

Joe Luis, I want to be more than a friend

I bring you lunch at work, just to get a little time

To sit and visit with you while the busy day unwinds

The minutes fly by fast, so short but cherished deep

These are the tender memories my heart will always keep

You’re a Christian man, so loyal and so true

A loving father, and a handsome grandpa too

But these stolen moments always have to end

And I'm wishing I was more than just your friend

Joe Luis, I want to be more than a friend

You’re so understanding, you treat me with respect

But there’s a deeper feeling that I hope you won't neglect

I'm standing on the outside of this line you drew in stone

I'm asking you to finally let me leave the friendzone

I see the way you live your life, your spirit shining bright

You guide your family gently in the Lord's unfailing light

I’ll take the morning visits, I’ll take the midday sun

But in my heart I'm praying that our story's just begun

'Cause you’re a Christian man, so loyal and so true

A loving father, and a handsome grandpa too

But these stolen moments always have to end

And I'm wishing I was more than just your friend

Joe Luis, I want to be more than a friend

Please let me be more than a friend
