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
