You ever seen a prayer in person?
The kind of thing that makes you believe
All the waitin’ ’round was worth it
One of them meant to be’s
Mine showed up out of nowhere
In just a t-shirt and some jeans
And I knew right then right there
She looked like forever to me
She gave eighteen summers to Caroline
Spent a few more wild and free
Gave a long shot chance
To a Georgia boy in Tennessee
I gave a promise to her daddy
And a grass stain took my knee
I might’ve gave her the diamond
But she gave forever to me
Well, there ain’t no dancin’ ’round it
When your whole world standin’ there
Just ’cause we’ve talked about it
Didn’t mean I wasn’t scared
And right there where I met her
Yeah, I showed her the ring
Just waitin’ on her answer, Lord
Felt like forever to me
Yeah, she gave eighteen summers to Caroline
Spent a few more wild and free
Gave a long shot chance
To a Georgia boy in Tennessee
I gave a promise to her daddy
And a grass stain took my knee
I might’ve gave her the diamond
But she gave forever to me, yeah
She gave forever to me
She gave
A “Yes” to the dress with her mama
That’s gonna be somethin’ to see
She gave her heart to Jesus
And He gave her to me
I wish you could’ve met my daddy
Know how happy he would be
That I gave her a diamond
And she gave forever to me
(She gave forever to me)
