[Verse 1] You know the stories I tell at the table, The easy laugh, the plans I can name; But what I hold close when the room grows quiet Is the part of me courtship can gently explain. [Pre-Chorus] So let the questions take their time, Let honest answers find their way; A kind word offered when it matters Can tell you more than charm can say. [Chorus] Look past the surface, learn the heart, The hidden person, deep and true; Can we make room for who we are, And keep our promises in view? Not finding someone without flaws, But choosing patience, day by day; Two different lives, with willing hands, Learning how to bend and stay. [Verse 2] Will you be steady when days are demanding, Will I be tender when you need a friend? Can we speak with kindness, work through our failings, And give one another care without end? [Pre-Chorus] Faith lived in the small decisions, Respect that doesn’t need a show; The way we listen, serve, and soften Reveals the roots beneath the growth. [Chorus] Look past the surface, learn the heart, The hidden person, deep and true; Can we make room for who we are, And keep our promises in view? Not finding someone without flaws, But choosing patience, day by day; Two different lives, with willing hands, Learning how to bend and stay. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] We don’t have to share each viewpoint, Or walk each road in identical ways; What matters is the love that makes us Adapt with grace through changing days. [Final Chorus] Look past the surface, learn the heart, The hidden person, deep and true; Can we make room for who we are, And keep our promises in view? Not finding someone without flaws, But choosing patience, day by day; Two different lives, with willing hands, Learning how to bend and stay. [Outro] Let the heart be known in time, And let our care be proved in how we live.
