glimpse

Verse 1 I used to think forever Was just a word we say Something in a wedding speech That slowly fades away I never saw the picture Never had the frame Didn’t know my heart could want More than just a name I was drifting through my twenties Half in, half unsure Building walls around my chest Callin’ that mature Then you smiled across the room Like you already knew I was standing at the edge Of something new Pre-Chorus I didn’t plan to see that far Didn’t mean to look ahead But suddenly the future Was playing in my head Chorus I hope that one day I’ll come close To the life I talk about A wife, a house, a couple kids Laughin’ loud and proud Guess God knew what He was doin’ When I caught a glimpse of you Showed me love ain’t just a feeling It’s a promise you grow into Verse 2 I see a kitchen light on Dinner getting cold You telling stories ’bout our day While little hands hold Pictures on the hallway walls Crayon skies and trees Arguments that end in prayer Not in broken peace I never thought commitment Would feel like breathing air But when I look beside me I can see you there Not perfect, not a fairytale But steady, kind, and true And suddenly forever Don’t feel impossible with you Pre-Chorus I didn’t know my restless heart Was searching for a sign Till I saw my whole life Reflected in your eyes Chorus I hope that one day I’ll come close To the life I talk about A wife, a house, a couple kids Laughin’ loud and loud Guess God knew what He was doin’ When I caught a glimpse of you Turned my “maybe someday” dreams Into something I could move to Bridge (Soft / Honest) Maybe we’re not there yet Maybe we still grow Maybe love is planting seeds You don’t see right away grow But if this is just the preview I don’t need the proof I’ll keep building toward the promise I first saw in you Final Chorus (Lift) I know that one day I’ll come close To the man I’m meant to be Strong enough to hold your hand Soft enough to lead If heaven ever asks me When my future came in view I’ll smile and say it started The day I caught a glimpse of you Outro (Gentle) Didn’t know I was praying Till the answer walked in the room All it took was one glimpse of you.
