Love Is a Powerful Thing

How did you do it?
Somehow you knew it.
You brought out the best in me
Because now I can finally see

Chorus 
Love is powerful and has the power
To change a little a boy into a strong man
I never should have walked out on you
I just did what my daddy did


You were so amazing and had every right 
to throw in the towel 
But for some reason you stayed by my side
I was the one to leave
Yeah I was the to leave

Chorus 
Love is powerful and has the power
To change a little a boy into a strong man
I never should have walked out on you
I just did what my daddy did


Bridge
All I want to do is make you happy always
You are my heart and soul and now I’m 
completely whole
I will never walk away again
You are my life
I want you as my wife

We are married now 
and I'm living every man’s dream
Our life hasn't always been perfect 
but we make a great team

Chorus 

Love is powerful and has the power
To change a little a boy into a strong man
I never should have walked out on you
I just did what my daddy did

Repeat Bridge

Like father like son...(like mother like daughter)..have to be careful with gender equality:) True love can overcome many hurdles, unless trust is shattered beyond repair! Your refrain can easily tempt one to put these lyrics to music, Alexis. Regards // paul

Wonderfully written Alexis. This is a story of the power of love and it indeed can change us. Even if we make a mistake, true love does have the power to forgive and forget. Really nice my friend.
