SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE

Some things are meant to be
They
rise from the seeds of living
Some
things are meant to be
Pulled
from the moments of life gone

This
woman reaches out to the man here
In
tenderness
In
a time of need
when the world was sad and gray
Coffee
here a meeting there
Words
about safe living in a single world
He
talks about what he's looking for In his life right now in a woman
She
talks about what she's lookin for In her life right now in a man

Some
things are meant to be
They
were both looking for
the same damn thing
Someone
with values, love, integrity
Who
could walk the talk each day

Segue
to New Year's Eve for the Hauber's bash
He
drove her there so innocent
Two
friends just out to play
While
walking up the path he took her hand
Right
there the friendship changed
It
was romance here it was romance there
Every
day was filled there was love in the air
Then
off to Maine meet his mom and pop
Romantic
cruise where she knew he'd pop...
the question

Owen
knew that she thought he would
She
had told her friends
that she knew he would
Owen
wanted it to be a surprise
Baroque
concert back in SLO
Down
at the creek after the show
Conversation
full of innuendo
Jeanne
says,  "Owen are you asking me
to marry you"
Owen says, "Yes"
Both were surprised

Some
things are meant to be
Like
love when it says two hearts be free
Some
things are meant to be
You
can feel it you can see it in the eyes

Picture
life way up the road
Owen
's down at the race track
Jeanne
's up in Reno at the wheel
Back
at home the big dog wags
Smiles
and fills the castle up with love
"He listens and he acts upon it
Never had anyone treat me so good,"  
she says
"She lets me grieve  mourn my loss
She
knows how it feels supports me
with her love"

We both said yes to an intimacy
A
relationship so holy we could grow in God
Partners
all the way
On
a common quest on a sacred path
You
're a refuge in life's stormy stormy sea

So
I marry you and you marry me
And
we join our hearts in harmony
We
were meant to be it's plain to see
Love
has found the way
