lyrics

I looked into those sparkling eyes
Into a soul that never dies,
I drowned myself in truth and grace
Radiating from her face.

Deep in those eyes I saw a fire
Of goodness, love, that won't expire
Its cleansing heat has made her pure
I fell in love right there for sure


You are the best I've ever met
The One I'll never forget
Like a lone rose on the peak,
Beautifully made and unique.


The times to come were rain and fire
Our hearts seemed safe behind barbed wire
We lived in tunnels and choked in puddles
Then lost our heads in all the muddles

We hoped and feared, we died and cried,
Our only hope Christ Crucified
This chapter ends a burning forest
Buries our hearts in ashes to rest


You are the best I've ever met
The One I'll never forget
Like a lone rose on the peak,
Beautifully made and unique.

You are the only I've ever met
The One I'll never forget
Like a rose on the peak,
Beautifully made and unique.


When I cast my eyes on our story
I watch the face of black irony
Though it whispers "be bitter, be free"
I trust my God and I will see


You've been the only I've ever met
The One I'll never forget
But now it's not in our hands,
it is not in our hands!
