[Intro] I done survived some nights I thought would never see the sun… So I don't take connection lightly anymore. Some people walk into your life and you notice their face. Then some people walk in… and somehow your soul notices first. Yeah… [Verse 1] I ain't looking for a fantasy, I've lived through too much pain, I know the difference now between the sunshine and the rain. Between somebody standing close and somebody standing true, Between a temporary feeling and what God might lead you to. She got something in her spirit I can't put into a phrase, It ain't only how she looks, it's how she carries through her days. There's a strength behind her smile, there's a story in her eyes, Like she fought a couple battles but she never let them write The ending. And I respect that. I been broken, I been humbled, had to rebuild from the ground, So when something feels authentic, I don't play around. I don't need to own her heart, I just want the chance to know it, And if love is like a seed, then I'm willing just to sow it. No games. No lines. No pretending to be more. Just a man who found some peace and sees somebody worth fighting for. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe God didn't bring me this far just to keep my heart behind a wall. Maybe healing wasn't only learning how to stand… Maybe it was learning how to love again. [Chorus] If God allows, I'd like to walk beside you. Not ahead of you, not behind you, right beside you. I don't need tomorrow promised tonight, I just want something honest, something real, something right. And if your heart says no, I'll respect what you choose. But if there's even one small door… I'd love the chance to love you. [Verse 2] See, I used to think that love was something meant for other men, Something people talked about but I might never feel again. Life taught me how to guard myself, how not to trust too fast, How to watch the present closely 'cause I know what happened past. But then you came around and something shifted in my chest. Not obsession. Not possession. Just a feeling I respect. You make me want to sharpen up, be careful with my words, Become the kind of man whose actions louder than he's heard. Because beauty gets attention, but your spirit made me stay. And I don't want to rush your heart or force it either way. I just want you knowing somewhere, there's a man who sees your worth. Not for what you give somebody— just because of who you are on Earth. I pray before I move now. That's something life taught me. Some doors we kick open are doors God never brought me. So this time I ain't forcing anything into place. If it's meant to grow, let it grow through truth and grace. [Chorus] If God allows, I'd like to walk beside you. Not ahead of you, not behind you, right beside you. I don't need tomorrow promised tonight, I just want something honest, something real, something right. And if your heart says no, I'll respect what you choose. But if there's even one small door… I'd love the chance to love you. [Verse 3] I've seen darkness. Real darkness. The kind that changes men. So when light comes through my window, I appreciate it different than I did back then. I don't want a picture-perfect love somebody posts online. I want truth when life gets ugly. I want prayer when times get trying. I want laughter in the kitchen, quiet talks when days get long. I want somebody I can pray for, somebody helping keep me strong. And I'd give the same in return. That matters most. Not just roses when it's easy, but presence when life hurts. I want to know the woman underneath what everybody sees, What makes her laugh until she cries, what brings her heart some peace. What dreams she still keeps hidden, what prayers she never says. And if I ever earn her trust, I'll treat it like it's sacred. Because love ain't just emotion. Love is patience. Love is choice. Love is knowing when to speak and when to listen to her voice. And maybe nothing comes from this. I understand that too. But there's something I would regret more— Never telling you… I see you. [Bridge] I've spent enough of my life learning what it feels like to lose. So if God puts something beautiful in front of me… I'm not going to pretend I didn't notice it. But love isn't taking. Love isn't demanding. Love says… "I'm here. And you're still free." [Chorus] If God allows, I'd like to walk beside you. Not ahead of you, not behind you, right beside you. I don't need forever promised tonight, just something honest, something real, something right. And if your heart says no, I'll respect what you choose. But if there's even one small door… I'd love the chance… Yeah… I'd love the chance to love you. [Outro] No pressure. No promises we haven't earned. Just truth… Faith… And a heart that finally remembered it could still feel.
