JULENE

[Verse 1]
There was a place so dark and cold
Where love was a story never told
I couldn't find a single light
Couldn't see my way through the night
But all along, someone stayed
Loving me while I was afraid

[Chorus]
Julene, you chose me
Through the good and through the bad
You said, every little thing gonna be alright
Because I love you, and I held on
You're my safe place, my ride or die
The strongest love I've ever had

[Verse 2]
You stood beside me through the fight
Gave up so much to hold me tight
You never once let go my hand
Even when I couldn't stand
You're the glue that holds me whole
The quiet grace that calms my soul

[Chorus]
Julene, you chose me
Through the good and through the bad
You said, every little thing gonna be alright
Because I love you, and I held on
You're my safe place, my ride or die
The strongest love I've ever had

[Bridge]
Some days we're serious and still
Some days the little girls inside
Come running out to laugh and play
And I find my way back home to you

[Verse 3]
On May the fourth of twenty twenty-three
You made my whole life complete
Partners now for all of time
Your heart forever next to mine
So on your birthday, here I stand
Still choosing you, still holding your hand

[Chorus]
Julene, you chose me
Through the good and through the bad
Now I'm telling you, every little thing gonna be alright
Because I love you, I always will
You're my hope, my peace, my ride or die
The greatest love I've ever had

[Outro]
Happy birthday, my safe place
My hope, my healing, my grace
