Kelly

[Verse 1]
Some love comes slow like a summer rain
Some love is written before you know its name
A little girl with muddy hands
Making pies out in the backyard sand
I pointed at you and claimed you mine
Never knew God was writing the signs

[Chorus]
Baby, you're my safe place, my rock, my friend
The love I would choose again and again
Through every storm and every day
God sent you here to light my way
Oh, I'll say it the way we say
Love you forever and a day

[Verse 2]
First date at Andy's, I could hardly breathe
Sitting across from the boy of my dreams
Late night talks after seven o'clock
Free minutes ticking, we'd never stop
Miles apart when I went off to school
Distance just proved what we already knew

[Chorus]
Baby, you're my safe place, my rock, my friend
The love I would choose again and again
Through every storm and every day
God sent you here to light my way
Oh, I'll say it the way we say
Love you forever and a day

[Bridge]
April came and took your mama home
Helen's son, you never walked alone
I watched you carry that weight with grace
Still showing up with love on your face

[Verse 3]
Flowers every birthday, every July
Love notes tucked where my pillow lies
Money in my purse like a secret prayer
Kisses goodnight, you're always there
You're blessed to be a blessing, it's true
Twenty-one years, still falling for you

[Chorus]
Kelly, you're my safe place, my rock, my friend
The love I would choose again and again
In a thousand lifetimes I'd search for you
And find you, Baby, and choose you too
So hold me close, the way we say
Love you forever and a day

[Outro]
Kelly, my hero, my childhood crush
Love you forever and a day
