THE GIRL I ALWAYS WANTED
Summer 1986, Cambridge MA
I don't remember a sky in July
Ever lookin' like the one I'm seein' now
Don't know when Summer ever tasted so sweet
Gonna take in all my senses will allow
I don't remember a breeze through the trees
Ever stirrin' up my soul the way it did just then
I couldn't number all the stars in the night
And I kinda might be feelin' like a kid again
She's the girl I always wanted
But the Lord knew that, the Lord knew that
The girl I really needed was the one he made for me
I've been goin' through stages
I've been searchin' the pages of the Word
I've been prayin' for ages
And the Lord has heard
She's the girl I always wanted
But the Lord knew that, the Lord knew that
The girl I really needed is the one he gave to me
