Verse 1 We didn’t drift into forever, We ran there hand in hand— Not reckless, not pretending, Just certain where we’d stand. Eleven weeks can sound like nothing To people counting years, But when the answer’s written in your soul, The waiting feels severe. Pre-Chorus So we circled dates, we made the calls, We chose the earliest door— Because love doesn’t want to wander When it knows what it was made for. Chorus Eleven weeks to forever, To temple doors and morning light, To a promise bigger than our fear And steadier than the night. We stepped in young, we stepped in grateful, With our whole lives standing near— And time got small when heaven opened On the day you came with me Eleven weeks to forever. Verse 2 Salt Lake stone against the skyline, Quiet streets, a sacred hush, Your hand in mine, my heart wide open— No need to talk, no need to rush. Not because we’d earned perfection, But because we’d found our home, And we wanted God to seal the love We already called our own. Pre-Chorus 2 No spotlight, no parade, Just peace that felt like truth— Like all the roads behind us Led to this one view. Chorus Eleven weeks to forever, To temple doors and morning light, To a promise bigger than our fear And steadier than the night. We stepped in young, we stepped in grateful, With our whole lives standing near— And time got small when heaven opened On the day you came with me Eleven weeks to forever. Bridge I look back now and I laugh a little— Not at the covenant, never that— But at how long we let the world say “Slow down… wait… plan…” Because the only regret I carry Is a tender kind of truth: We could’ve started loving sooner… And still I’m grateful we started when we did. Final Chorus Eleven weeks to forever, And forever’s still my favorite word, ’Cause every ordinary day since then Has kept the promise that we heard. And if I’m honest, I still mean it— I’d choose you faster, if I could— But I thank God for the road that brought us To the holiest “yes” I ever knew… Eleven weeks to forever. Outro Temple doors… morning light… Forever. And you.
