[Verse 1] I found the spot by the river bend Where the stone path curves through the cedar wind A little white table under open sky And the whole world slows when you walk by [Pre-Chorus] We can laugh too loud Talk too long Watch the gold fade down Where it feels like home [Chorus] Meet me there At the garden gate Meet me there It feels so right Meet me there Where the roses wake I can see Your grace In the whole first night (whole first night) [Verse 2] There’s a bakery sign and a bookshop door Fresh-cut bread on the old front porch I’ll save you a seat by the lantern glow And I’ll thank the Lord for the chance to know [Pre-Chorus] Your easy smile Your steady eyes If this is a gift I won’t pass it by [Chorus] Meet me there At the garden gate Meet me there It feels so right Meet me there Where the roses wake I can see Your grace In the whole first night (whole first night) [Bridge] And if the rain rolls in We’ll stay right here Two hearts learning trust No need to fear You can be you I can be mine And maybe this is holy In real time [Chorus] Meet me there At the garden gate Meet me there It feels so right Meet me there Where the roses wake I can see Your grace In the whole first night (whole first night) [Outro] At the garden gate I’ll be there waiting At the garden gate For the first date fading (garden gate)
