D. J.

December the twentieth, a promise in the night

July the thirteenth, we stepped into the light

We started from nothing, just a shared and hopeful dream

Showed everybody we were a power team

We built it from the ground up, standing side by side

I wore your ring so proudly, I couldn't hide my pride

Oh, D.J., you caught me every time I’d fall

You loved me in ways I’d never known at all

But the record stopped spinning, the truth cut like a knife

I gave you everything, D.J., including my life

I’m sorry I couldn't be the wife you wanted me to be

But heaven knows I gave you all of me

When I was lying in that hospital bed

You stayed right beside me and held my heavy head

You took my grandchildren and raised them as your own

Gave them a father's love they'd never really known

You were my protector, so gentle and so deep

I thought those were the memories we would always keep

I thought our bond was sacred, I thought our souls were tied

Until the day you cheated, and all the magic died

How did a love so tender just crumble at the seams?

You walked away and shattered our power team dreams

Now I'm standing in the echoes of the vows we used to make

With a heart you put together, just to turn around and break

Oh, D.J., you caught me every time I’d fall

You loved me in ways I’d never known at all

But the record stopped spinning, the truth cut like a knife

I gave you everything, D.J., including my life

I’m sorry I couldn't be the wife you wanted me to be

But heaven knows I gave you all of me
