September 2, 2012

I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road


But I got lost a time or two


Wiped my brow and kept pushing through


I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you


Every long lost dream led me to where you are


Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars


Pointing me on my way into your loving arms


This much I know is true


That God blessed the broken road


That led me straight to you


I think about the years I spent just passing through


I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you


But you just smile and take my hand


You've been there you understand


It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true


Now I'm just rolling home


Into my lover's arms


This much I know is true


That God blessed the broken road


That led me straight to you


That God blessed the broken road


That led me straight to you.

Broken Road – Rascal Flatts

I was blessed the day I met you. My daughters were blessed. I may have had to walk a broken road to find you… but it was worth it. Happy Fathers Day to my amazing husband, Russell. You are exactly what we were looking for.
