As a boy under the stars
I'd wonder who You are and who I was
I didn't know much
But I knew love was at the center
Holding it all together
Filled with the wonder that was always waking
I'd chase it as fast as my bike
Would take me, with my friends
The first time I fell in love, oh what a girl
I could feel the world tremble beneath us with my first kiss
I aimed to make her mine, but I missed
Oh, but if my heart hadn't broke in two
Never would've run to You
Where You loved me in my loneliness
And I found I was never alone
Every step along the way
I know You'll never leave my side
Whatever the season, I can say
These are the best days of my life
(The best days, the best days, the best days)
The next time I fell in love
I walked her down the aisle
Fresh like spring and in a little while
There were tiny people underneath our feet
It was a full time job to make ends meet
It was good
But we got so tired walking on a high-wire
Through the fire
Trying to hold it together
For better or worse even when it hurt
In my broken places
I discovered how good Your grace is
As You picked up the pieces
Thank You, Jesus, for making me whole again
Every step along the way
I know You'll never leave my side
Whatever the season, I can say
These are the best days of my life
The best days
When You walked with me and talked with me
They were the best days
'Cause You were here with me
You were here with me
I won't fear my story's end
'Cause the Author is my friend
Whatever comes tomorrow, beauty or sorrow
I know when I look back I'll see
That the good times and the hard times
Were the best times I ever had
'Cause You were beside me, above and behind me
Lovingly leading me home
Every step along the way
I know You'll never leave my side
Whatever the season, I can say
These are the best days of my life
Every step along the way
I know You'll never leave my side
Whatever the season, I can say
These are the best days of my life
