When I was a young boy
Oh, my mama would pray for me
Saying, "Father, let him see
That You're his hope & You're his joy

And raise up a young girl
Somewhere out there, far & wide
Build her up to be his bride
And walk beside him through the world"

So Mom raised a romantic
Yeah, I'd dream of you each day
When would we meet? What would I say?
When would our puzzle pieces click?

I saw your smiling shadow
In most every girl I met
I never managed to forget
That any day could be hello

But that was then, and now I'm older
And though I know that I'm still young
With every year, my bed feels colder
And our duet remains unsung

And if you're real, I know you're worth it
And if you're out there, then you're not late
And though I know you won't be perfect
I hope I don't have long to wait
For our first date

I met the love of my life
Must be six or seven times
Was making lemonade of limes
A schoolboy crush is not a wife

I prayed for sovereign guidance
Thought I heard the words of fate
In letters on a license plate
She told me no, and I saw sense

I walked into adulthood
Met a girl I thought was you
Yeah, we burned fast and bright and true
And most of everything was good

But we lived in the future
In an apartment made of dreams
While now was fraying at the seams
She told me true, you were not her

And that was it - the last contender
No sooner started than I'm done
And though I've hoped to find an ember
I see no spark in anyone

And if you're real, I hope you find me
But that's not something I create
So I just breathe as He refines me
And try to stop anticipating
Our first date

Oh, I see you standing there
A train from your back and a veil from your hair
If there's a reason to keep on hoping, I think it's you

But I hear a voice that said,
"You're missing the point, oh, get out of your head
And just remember the love that marriage is pointing to
'Cause it was always about the Lover you always knew"

So whether we'll be one day married
Or you're not out there, after all
I'm laying down this dream I've carried
And harking to the Bridegroom's call

'Cause I have found the greatest romance
Our love could only imitate
And now He's asking me to go dance
I think I'm learning how to wait
For our first date

When I was a young boy
Oh, my mama would pray for me
Saying, "Father, let him see
That You're his hope & You're his joy"
