There's a Place for You Here Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] You were always first to show up Always last to leave Looking out for everybody Like you had no time to grieve You’d smile and say you’re doing fine Then turn your eyes away I didn’t know your story But I wanted you to stay [Verse 2] We started talking after work By your car beneath the lights Sometimes just a few short minutes Sometimes half the night You laughed about my old truck I teased you for your shoes And somewhere in those conversations I started falling for you [Pre-Chorus] I learned the things that made you laugh The things you couldn’t say And I found myself looking forward To seeing you each day [Chorus 1] There’s a place for you here In the life I’m hoping for I’m not asking you to hurry Or give me more than you’re ready for I don’t know where this is going But one thing’s getting clear I keep finding reasons to smile Whenever you’re near [Verse 3] You told me about the one you lost And the years you wished you’d had I listened as you talked about The good times and the bad And I loved the way you cared for people When you had so much to bear I was drawn to who you were Not just the hurt you carried there [Pre-Chorus 2] The first time that I held your hand You smiled and held mine too And I knew I wanted something That would last a lifetime with you [Chorus 2] There’s a place for you here In the plans I want to make In the ordinary mornings And the chances we might take I don’t need to rush tomorrow I’ve got time to see this through But the more I get to know you The more I see my life with you [Bridge] My mama told me long ago How kindness changed her life How somebody stood beside her When she had nowhere to turn I used to think that loving someone Meant knowing what to say Now I know it’s showing up And choosing them each day [Proposal] So I asked you for forever With a ring held in my hand Said, “I can’t promise perfect days But I’ll give you all I am” You were crying when you answered Then you laughed and whispered, “Yes” And I held you for a moment That I’ll never quite forget [Final Chorus] There’s a place for you here Right beside me through the years For the joy we haven’t known yet And the days that bring us tears Not just when the road is easy Not just when the skies are clear I want to make a promise That I’ll keep year after year [Outro] You were always first to show up Always last to leave Now I’m standing at the altar And you’re walking toward me [Final line] There’s a place for you here.
