You guys know how much I love to write a custom song...
Amanda and Michael have THEE most epic love story which I learned about YEARS ago. When I met them, they weren't together, but they seemed DESTINED to reunite. I'd always look forward to updates on how they were doing at shows or via email. Their story is not mine to tell, so I'll just say that now they are married and have a precious 3 month old baby boy!! Yay!!!
Years ago they would meet up for "dates" at my online shows and dedicate songs to each other. I feel lucky to have witnessed the evolution of their love over the years.
In 2018, they donated to my Kickstarter for a custom song. It took literally years to write this song. I actually had written an entirely different one that unfortunately just didn't feel like them. When we scratched it and started over, they told me they were expecting a little one. It was the perfect addition to their epic love story, and obviously I could relate... so this song came pouring out.
They were kind enough to allow me to share it here. I hope you enjoy!
The working title is "Grows" but it just seems like a weird title if you say it out loud. "Hey have you heard that song Grows?" It sounds like you're saying "Gross!". So maybe it'll be "My Love For You Grows". But that seems like it gives away the hook. HAHA - the internal thoughts of a songwriter. Open to ideas. :)
Thanks for listening! Lyrics below.

LYRICS:
Vs 1:
We were just kids when we fell in love
Singing sweet songs on the back of the bus
I knew you loved me but I didn’t know why
I know I loved you but I didn’t know it would get better with time
Vs 2:
Time, time, time has a funny way
Everything and nothing about us changed
Everything and nothing is all brand new
Everyday I find another thing I love about you
CHORUS
Just when I think I’ve seen every star in the sky
Just when I think I know the limits of this life
Just when I think I love you more than I can hold
Somehow my love for you grows
Vs 3:
Oh there were days we had to spend apart
Finding ourselves and who we are
But even then I’d never been so sure
We could go on and on and on and I’d still want more
Chorus Repeats
Bridge:
Like when I first saw you on our wedding day
Like the moment we found out we had a baby on the way
