For David

Intro:
I never thought that life would treat me kind,
The way it does the girls in fairytales and books and rhymes.
I never asked for such a dream come true.
But unbelievably…God gave me you…

Verse 1:
When it happened, I didn’t understand
How I could ever hope to be the one for such a man,
Whose kindness and abilities set him above the rest—
I thought I surely never could be chosen by the best.

Chorus:
But then…God gave me you,
And here I stand, amazed at what He knew.
No other one for me—no other for eternity.
He knew exactly what I needed most…and gave me you.

Verse 2:
I thought for years that I had hoped in vain—
No man would claim my heart and I would always live in pain.
The ones I liked all turned away; they cared not if I cried,
And all the while, my slowly-breaking heart ached deep inside.

Chorus:
But then…God gave me you,
And here I stand, amazed at what He knew.
No other one for me—no other for eternity.
He knew exactly what I needed most…and gave me you.

Bridge:
Somehow life changes when we least expect…
And only God knows what will happen next…
For I thought hope was gone—
A new day would never dawn.
And I had given up on finding love…

Chorus:
But then…God gave me you,
And here I stand, amazed at what He knew.
No other one for me—no other for eternity.
He knew exactly what I needed most…and gave me you.
