Clay Eads

[Verse 1]
Some people search a lifetime
For a love that's always been
Right there beside them waiting
Like a prayer beneath the skin
I walked through years not knowing
What my heart was trying to say

[Chorus]
You were always the one
Written deep in my bones
Through the laughter and the faith we share
You're the place I call home
You may not have been the first
But you'll be my last embrace
Every road was leading me to you
Clay Eads, my saving grace

[Verse 2]
Forty-one years of friendship
Like a river running deep
Through every season, every storm
A promise we could keep
I had to open up my eyes
To see what was always true
My soulmate standing right there
And it was always you

[Chorus]
You were always the one
Written deep in my bones
Through the laughter and the faith we share
You're the place I call home
You may not have been the first
But you'll be my last embrace
Every road was leading me to you
Clay Eads, my saving grace

[Bridge]
God was writing us a story
Long before we understood
Every chapter, every heartache
Was leading somewhere good

[Verse 3]
So here's to us, my baby
To the family that we've made
To the strength we found together
And the love that never fades
I've loved you my entire life
I just didn't know it then
But now I know with everything
I'd choose you once again

[Chorus]
You were always the one
Written deep in my bones
Through the laughter and the faith we share
You're the place I call home
You may not have been the first
But you'll be my last embrace
Every road was leading me to you
Clay Eads, my saving grace

[Outro]
My soulmate, my forever
Clay Eads, I love you baby
I love you, baby
