Benita

[Verse 1]
Some men walk in thinking they know it all
Standing taller than they ought to stand
I was one of those, a stubborn wall
Till you met my pride with a steady hand
You'd hear me out on every word I said
Then show me kindly where I'd gone wrong instead

[Chorus]
When our eyes first met, you took my heart
You took my soul right from the start
You made this fool believe love's real
Grounded me with all you feel
Through every storm, through every door
Every day I love you more

[Verse 2]
I still remember that bank downtown
When time stood still and the world went slow
You came walking down those stairs
And I forgot how breathing goes
Benita, I'd respected you for years
But that day my heart just let it show

[Chorus]
When our eyes first met, you took my heart
You took my soul right from the start
You made this fool believe love's real
Grounded me with all you feel
Through every storm, through every door
Every day I love you more

[Bridge]
I see the girl with a wisp of doubt
Who loves so hard she wears it out
Don't you ever hide that tender part
It's the bravest thing about your heart

[Verse 3]
We've weathered words we can't take back
Forgiven more than most would dare
Now the waters calm, the light breaks in
A brand new start for us to share
Stay strong, Benita, we're going nowhere
This home we built will always be there

[Chorus]
When our eyes first met, you took my heart
You took my soul right from the start
You made this fool believe love's real
Grounded me with all you feel
Through every storm, through every door
Every day I love you more

[Outro]
In our home, our creation, our safe place
Benita, darlin', love you more
