a song a day--God Gave Me You

I've always been a huge musical person.  My mom laughs at me because I sing a song for just about anything that goes on in my life.  I have always loved to sing, listen to music, and create it.  I took piano lessons from age 4-13.  I was also in band grades 6-11, playing the flute, piccolo, keyboard, and pit.  I loved it and I miss it.

Needless to say, music is a powerful force for me.  I appreciate talent, both vocally and instrumentally.  I also appreciate the lyrics and pay attention to them sometimes more than the music itself.  

So I decided I'm going to try to do a song a day with a little blurb of why I love it so.  Most of them will be for my boy--just a heads up for those of you who get annoyed with the helpless romance.  Sorry, that's just the way I roll.

"God Gave Me You"

I’ve been a walking heartache

I’ve made a mess of me

The person that I’ve been lately

Ain’t who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me

And watch as the storm blows through

And I need you

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it’s true

God gave me you

Gave me you

There’s more here than what we’re seeing

A divine conspiracy

That you, an angel lovely

Could somehow fall for me

You’ll always be love’s great martyr

And I’ll be the flattered fool

And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it’s true

God gave me you

On my own I’m only

Half of what I could be

I can’t do without you

We are stitched together

And what love has tethered

I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt

And for when I think I lost my way

There are no words here left to say, it’s true

God gave me you, gave me you.

He gave me you.

I truly believe that Hunter and I were given to each other through God's plan and design.  We've been through a lot together already--and every day brings a new adventure.  He's my love.
