Benjamin

[Verse 1]
Some love comes in like thunder
Some love slowly finds its way
Mine started on a phone line
Talking till the break of day
Those baby blue eyes, that easy smile
Caught me and they made me stay

[Chorus]
Benjamin, you waited on me
Gave me time to learn to love
You held the door with patient hands
Till my heart was brave enough
God picked us, but we keep us
And I'm keeping you, my love

[Verse 2]
When we lost the one we treasured
And the silence filled the hall
You stood steady, never breaking
Kept your temper through it all
We held each other through the grieving
Side by side, we would not fall

[Chorus]
Benjamin, you waited on me
Gave me time to learn to love
You held the door with patient hands
Till my heart was brave enough
God picked us, but we keep us
And I'm keeping you, my love

[Bridge]
I love you more than I can show
More than words could ever hold
When your arms wrap all around me
That's the safest place I know

[Verse 3]
Whatever the future brings us
Rain or sunshine, years ahead
I just want you right beside me
Every road we've yet to tread
A legacy of love for our family
In every prayer we've ever said

[Chorus]
Benjamin, you waited on me
Gave me time to learn to love
You held the door with patient hands
Till my heart was brave enough
God picked us, but we keep us
All these years, I'm keeping you, my love

[Outro]
God picked us, but we keep us
Hold me close the way you do
Through every season, every sunrise
Forever, I'm keeping you
