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
