Dave

[Verse 1]
I spent so long in whispered prayer,
Asking heaven if you'd be somewhere.
A quiet hope I held so tight,
That somebody would feel this right.
Then came a warmth I couldn't name,
A gentle soul, and nothing's been the same.

[Chorus]
You're the answer that I prayed for,
A gift from God, and so much more.
A giver, never asking why,
The love I needed all my life.
Oh, I thank the heavens up above,
For the joy, the faith, this endless love.

[Verse 2]
Your spirit burns, it never fades,
No time you waste, no plans delayed.
Through every deadline, every storm,
You kept us safe, you kept us warm.
With good food, music, candlelight,
Dave, you made the ordinary shine so bright.

[Chorus]
You're the answer that I prayed for,
A gift from God, and so much more.
A giver, never asking why,
The love I needed all my life.
Oh, I thank the heavens up above,
For the joy, the faith, this endless love.

[Bridge]
And little Vivi at our feet,
The quiet moments, oh so sweet.
No hurdle high, no wall too tall,
Dave, you chose us through it all.

[Verse 3]
So here I stand and take your hand,
A brand new road, a promised land.
The man I needed to be whole,
You found the missing of my soul.
With God as witness, come what may,
I'll love you deeper every single day.

[Chorus]
You're the answer that I prayed for,
A gift from God, and so much more.
A giver, never asking why,
The love I needed all my life.
Oh, I thank the heavens up above,
For the joy, the faith, this endless love.

[Outro]
Dave, my forever, my delight,
God's gift to me, my heart's own light.
