Smokeshow Still
Verse 1
Saw her first back in ’85,
Big hair, bright eyes, that girl was alive.
Mixtapes spinning, love on rewind,
Burning that bright don’t fade with time.
Chorus
She’s a smokeshow, fire hot,
Still turns my head with everything she’s got.
From the first spark to the flame that still thrills,
Baby, you’re my SMOKESHOW — STILL.
Verse 2
Years rolled on, but her light don’t fade,
Beauty runs deeper than lines time made.
Our mixtape soundtrack blazin’ through years,
She’s radiant still, after all of these years.
Chorus
She’s a smokeshow, fire hot,
Still turns my head with everything she’s got.
From the first spark to the flame that still thrills,
Baby, you’re my SMOKESHOW — STILL.
Bridge
She’s still queen of the scene, shining brighter each show,
We’re on the B-side of life, but her glow still shows.
More than just looks, it’s the way she shines through—
Sexy forever, and forever brand new.
Final Chorus
She’s a smokeshow, red hot,
Still melts me down with everything she’s got.
From the first kiss to the love that fulfills,
Baby, you’re my SMOKESHOW — STILL.
Miss July
Verse 1
I found my seat right behind her desk
She had a smile that solved for X
I passed her notes, she rolled her eyes
Said she don’t date the flirty kind
She was the prom queen, I was the risk
She gave me one shot, just one kiss
Then six whole years went drifting by
Before I found my Miss July
Verse 2
Ninety-one, I saw you standing there
On the sidelines, sunlight in your hair
I said, “Hey there, what do you say?”
You said, “Why not? Sure. Okay.”
This time I held on nice and tight
Moved in quick and made it right
Four years later, by your side—
I said “I do” to Miss July
Chorus
I coulda been a M-I-S… take
A wrong turn others said not to make
But you saw through my wild disguise
Took my hand and changed my life
Call it luck, call it fate
Thank the Lord for that first date
That’s how I became the guy
Who married Miss July
Bridge
July the second, ’95
We got a gift—your name inside
We both laughed, it was spelled J-U-L-Y
And you’ve been my Miss July ever since that time
Final Chorus
I coulda been a M-I-S… take
A wrong turn others said not to make
But you saw through my wild disguise
Took my hand and changed my life
Call it love, call it fate
Thank the Lord for that first date
That’s how I became the guy
Who married Miss July
Finally Figured It Out
Verse 1
We thought we knew it all on day one,
Hearts on fire, chasing the sun.
Love’s no book, no teacher, no test,
You learn as you go, just doin’ your best.
Chorus
Took a few decades, the long route,
We cried, we laughed, we turned it about.
Through wrong and right, through fear and doubt—
We finally figured it out.
Verse 2
We’ve made mistakes, we’ve had our say,
But love kept pullin’ us back the same way.
It’s not always easy, it’s not always smooth,
It takes livin’ to learn it, and we found our groove.
Chorus
Took a few decades, the long route,
We cried, we laughed, we turned it about.
Through wrong and right, through fear and doubt—
We finally figured it out.
Bridge
It ain’t perfect, but it’s perfectly ours,
A little scarred, but still full of stars.
We’re wiser now, and it feels so true—
I’ll always choose this life with you.
Final Chorus
Took a few decades, the long route,
We cried, we laughed, we turned it about.
Through wrong and right, through fear and doubt—
We finally figured it out.
Outro
We finally figured it out…
We finally figured it out…
Yeah, we finally figured it out!
Stayin’ Together
Verse 1
Love’s not a race, it’s a winding road
We learn the steps as the years unfold
Some things we planned, some we never knew
But we learned to hold on and see it through
Verse 2
It’s the words we lean on when times get tough
The quiet reminder that love’s enough
From an unlikely voice, it rang so clear
We’ve carried it with us year after year
Chorus
One simple line can light the way
And still be true to this very day
Keep workin’ it out and stayin’ together
Together forever —
Keep workin’ it out and stayin’ together
Verse 3
It’s a choice we make every single day
To turn toward love, not walk away
It’s the little things that pull us through
And the life we’ve built for me and you
Bridge
From words we laughed at to the truth we live
It’s the best advice we could ever give
Chorus
One simple line can light the way
And still be true to this very day
Keep workin’ it out and stayin’ together
Together forever —
Keep workin’ it out and stayin’ together
Wonder Woman
Verse 1
She had the cape, I wore the disguise,
She saw the real me through fearless eyes.
I was chasing a role, still finding my plan,
She knew all along who I really am.
Chorus
She’s my Wonder Woman, my spark in the dark,
Truth in her lasso, love in her heart.
Lost in direction, she showed what’s true,
She wears the cape and carries me through.
Verse 2
When I drifted in fear, she steadied my ground,
When my voice lost its courage, she gave it new sound.
Through battles and noise, she always stood true,
Her laughter, her strength, pulled me right through.
Chorus
She’s my Wonder Woman, my spark in the dark,
Truth in her lasso, love in her heart.
Lost in direction, she showed what’s true,
She wears the cape and carries me through.
Verse 3
Now the story moves on, her hand’s in mine,
The love that she shows is the rarest kind.
Through trials and time, her heart still proves true,
The hero I need is always you.
Bridge
When the world starts to break me, she knows what to do,
She spins me to courage, and carries me through.
Final Chorus
She’s my Wonder Woman, my spark in the dark,
Truth in her lasso, love in her heart.
Lost in direction, she showed what’s true,
She wears the cape and carries me through.
Yeah, she wears the cape… and carries me through.
Outro
She wears the cape… and carries me through.
More Than A Moment
Verse 1
It’s not just the hours that vanish away,
Not just the silence that slips from the day.
One moment lost can fracture the rest,
Turning sweet time into heaviness.
Verse 2
It’s not just the plans that never came true,
But the ripple of pain we both walk through.
Every small spark grows larger in kind,
Stealing far more than the moment in time.
Chorus
More than a moment, the loss carries on,
Hours turn to days when peace is gone.
If love’s what we’re guarding, then let it be shown,
Don’t let the fleeting undo what we’ve grown.
Bridge
Lord, break the pattern, heal what remains,
Teach me to loosen my grip on the reins.
Final Chorus
More than a moment, the loss carries on,
Hours turn to days when peace is gone.
If love’s what we’re guarding, then let it be shown,
Don’t let the fleeting undo what we’ve grown.
Outro
It’s more than a moment…
So guard what we’ve grown.
Two Good Forgivers
Verse 1
Be curious, not furious — that’s how love survives,
Happy wife, happy life — keeps the spark alive.
It ain’t about winning, it’s about the team,
Building something stronger than a single dream.
Chorus
Two good forgivers, that’s what we are,
Not keeping score, just raising the bar.
It’s not you versus me, it’s us hand in hand,
Facing the problem together, we take a stand.
Verse 2
Do you wanna be right, or do you wanna be wed?
Choose kindness instead of sharp words said.
Listen to understand, not just to reply,
That’s how you keep love from running dry.
Chorus
Two good forgivers, that’s what we are,
Not keeping score, just raising the bar.
It’s not you versus me, it’s us hand in hand,
Facing the problem together, we take a stand.
Bridge – call & response
(Never go to bed angry…) — Don’t close off the night.
(Love ain’t thinking alike…) — It’s thinking it right.
The grass grows greener when you both choose to tend,
That’s how two forgivers keep love ‘round the bend.
Final Chorus
Two good forgivers, that’s what we are,
Giving our hundred, shooting for the stars.
It’s not you versus me, it’s us hand in hand,
Love’s not about winning — it’s learning to understand.
Tag/Outro
Two good forgivers…
That’s the secret to us.
She Led Us Here
Verse 1
It started with a prayer, a dinnertime grace,
Hands clasped together, heads bowed in place.
Just a few words, but they lit up the night,
Turning our table toward God’s holy light.
Chorus
It started with a prayer, and the Spirit drew near,
God was weaving something greater, making love appear.
Joy grew stronger, faith drove out fear—
It started with a prayer, and she led us here.
Verse 2
She walked on her own, then she opened the way,
A voice at the table we still hear today.
What began in a whisper now rises in song,
Guided by the Spirit, where we all belong.
Chorus
It started with a prayer, and the Spirit drew near,
God was weaving something greater, making love appear.
Joy grew stronger, faith drove out fear—
It started with a prayer, and she led us here.
Bridge
Every day, every night, His Word fills our home,
We are never alone, no, we’re never alone!
Final Chorus
It started with a prayer, and the Spirit drew near,
God was weaving something greater, making love appear.
Joy grew stronger, faith drove out fear—
It started with a prayer, and she led us here.
See It New
Verse 1
Love ain’t easy, a give and take,
Two hearts learning from each mistake.
Not about winning, not keeping score,
Choosing each other, better than before.
Chorus
Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s you,
Sometimes the truth makes you see it new.
The secret to love, the way it pulls through—
It ain’t always them… sometimes it’s you.
Verse 2
We point our fingers, raise our voice,
Peace happens when we make the choice.
To see the mirror, not just the view,
To own our part in the things we do.
Chorus
Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s you,
Sometimes the truth makes you see it new.
The secret to love, the way it pulls through—
It ain’t always them… sometimes it’s you.
Bridge
Grace means giving when you’ve had enough,
Love means staying when the road gets rough.
Truth breaks through, gives a clearer view,
Open your heart — see it new.
Final Chorus
Sometimes it’s me, sometimes it’s you,
Sometimes the truth makes you see it new.
The secret to love, the way it pulls through—
It ain’t always them… sometimes it’s you.
Outro/Tag
Open your heart — see it new.
The First Road We’ll Ever Make
Verse 1
We’re born into a story — the trail already made
A beaten path before us — the markers never fade
Even if we wander — the way back always shows
The map was drawn already — the lines we all must know
Verse 2
Then came love and children — the years all found their pace
The seasons turned so quickly — now there’s an empty space
The plan was always waiting — the road was safe and sure
The gate swung open wider — the trail’s not there no more
Chorus
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — no tracks to guide us forward
No mile markers on the fence line — just a sky that we move toward
Hand in hand we’ll start again — the ground feels strange and new
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — and I’m making it with you
Verse 3
The mornings fall much quieter — the nights stretch long and wide
The echoes of our yesterdays — still ring from deep inside
We built our world around them — we stood guard both night and day
The field is ours to wander — the path’s been swept away
Pre-Chorus
Got a compass in my pocket — the needle spins in place
The map’s inside our hearts now — as we chart this open space
Chorus
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — no tracks to guide us forward
No mile markers on the fence line — just a sky that we move toward
Hand in hand we’ll start again — the ground feels strange and new
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — and I’m making it with you
Bridge
Every step we take — we’re laying down the lines
Drawing dreams in dust — leaving yesterday behind
It’s not the end — it’s just the open start
Two souls still walking — one beating heart
Final Chorus
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — the truth’s been there all along
It ain’t about where we’re going — it’s the joy of moving on
Hand in hand we’ll start again — the horizon pulls us through
It’s the first road we’ll ever make — and I’m making it with you
Outro
It’s our open start
Two souls still walking
One beating heart
Fierce and True
Verse 1
Your touch can set my soul on fire,
A burning flame that lifts me higher.
But words can strike like hammers fall,
We stand the heat, we stand it all.
Chorus
Our love is fierce, but our love is true,
It bends and strains, then it makes us new.
In all our rust, in all our shine,
You keep the fire in this heart of mine.
Verse 2
We strike like steel on anvil strong,
The heat can burn, the sparks can wrong.
But every blow still shapes the frame,
And keeps us bound within the flame.
Verse 3
The quiet falls, your hand in mine,
The smolder holds, the edges shine.
In every touch, the truth rings clear—
I’d face the fire to keep you near.
Chorus
Our love is fierce, but our love is true,
It bends and strains, then it makes us new.
In all our rust, in all our shine,
You keep the fire in this heart of mine.
Bridge
We came together cracked and scarred,
Two molten souls, both struck and scarred.
We’re welded strong where edges meet,
And bound as one, still bound by heat.
Chorus
Our love is fierce, but our love is true,
Refined by fire, forever new.
Like iron bent, then forged as one,
Always forging ahead ’til the work is done.
