"As Long As You Are There" - Jesse Johnson
“As Long As You Are There” lyrics
Wondering, how did I get so lucky?
And look at how far we’ve come
Anxiety certainly tried multiple times
To sabotage my efforts
To do something right
Turns out, while I did that on my own
You looked past it anyways
Nothing I could’ve said
Or attempted to project
Mattered anymore when you said
Yes to that date
Now I’ve never been more in love
You taught me
To never give up on myself
Your love is
The greatest thing that I’ve felt
Chorus:
For the future, I can’t wait
And the memories we’ll make
Good or bad, I don’t care
As long as you are there with me
6 years, what haven’t we been given?
Look how much God has pulled through
Let us never forget how we struggled
Instead, we should celebrate
Those countless moments
And how we prevailed
When many thought that we could not
Now we’ve learned
To never second-guess the One
Who saved us
And brought us together (chorus)
Every moment’s a gift
Every 10 minute trip
All the little things we take for granted
When we are together
Someday we will look back
As we try to unpack
All the memories
That we failed to create
So let’s make all our moments count (chorus)
Notes:
This is a love song to my beautiful wife and a reminder of the importance of spending quality time together in a relationship. Love you Pineapple!
