Leslie

[Verse 1]
Some roads take a lifetime to lead you back home
Some hearts wait in silence before they are known
In the fall of 2020 I boarded a plane
To see Mama and brother, but I came back changed
You were there at Pete's with that smile on your face
And one hug told my heart it had found its place

[Chorus]
It was always you, it was always you
Twenty years beside me and I never knew
We think alike, we feel the same
God wrote this story and gave it your name
Once in a lifetime, this love is true

[Verse 2]
October 23rd, that thermostat night
We laughed in the warmth till the moment felt right
Your brown eyes were shining, your brown hair let down
I felt your love, and I knew what I'd found
Leslie, I fell, and I fell all the way
Still falling for you every day

[Chorus]
It was always you, it was always you
Twenty years beside me and I never knew
We think alike, we feel the same
God wrote this story and gave it your name
Once in a lifetime, this love is true

[Bridge]
Grace forgave the years we missed
Forgiveness made room for a love like this
When I lose my way, His light leads me through
And every road He shows me leads to you

[Verse 3]
Six years together, a brand new start
You finish my thoughts, you know my heart
My Leslie, my fiancée, my forever friend
I'll love you till the very end

[Chorus]
It was always you, it will always be you
Twenty years of waiting, now our dreams come true
We think alike, we feel the same
God wrote this story and gave it your name
Once in a lifetime, forever and true

[Outro]
From Pete's that October to forever we'll be
It was always you, my Leslie, for me
