[Verse 1 – reflective, gentle rhythm]
I grew up where the cypress weeps
Where the Saints pray low and the Spirit speaks
She came from oceans and woven leis
With a faith as old as the island days
I was taught to work, to hold the line
She was taught to lead with hands and time
Two hearts, two lands, two different skies
But one Lord saw with higher eyes
⸻
[Chorus – reverent, like a testimony shared softly in sacrament]
Bayou and Lei, two souls aligned
One from the South, one shaped by tide
But God don’t match by place or name
He matches hearts that burn the same
We found each other not by chance
But through the Savior’s loving hands
And in His house, we chose to stay
Sealed forever — Bayou and Lei
⸻
[Verse 2 – storytelling, full of gratitude]
She wore her testimony like a crown
Said family’s the reason we’re on this ground
She danced in faith, I knelt in prayer
And we built a life with heaven there
We’d study the Book every night before bed
She’d read the words, I’d bow my head
Two different worlds, one purpose clear
To bring His Spirit ever near
⸻
[Chorus – stronger, with soft harmony]
Bayou and Lei, fire and breeze
Two children of divinity
One bore lei, one bore pine
But we both bore the Savior’s sign
The temple doors swung open wide
And she became my sealed bride
Now even death can’t take away
This promise made — Bayou and Lei
⸻
[Bridge – soft and sacred]
She’s not gone, just gone ahead
Still guiding me with words she said
And every Sabbath, every fast
She’s with me still — our love will last
⸻
[Final Chorus – pure, eternal in tone]
Bayou and Lei, covenant flame
Two lives forever in His name
Our boys will rise with both their feet
In Southern fields and island streets
And when I hold her once again
It’ll be just like back then
In God’s own time, we’ll find our way
Me and my Queen — Bayou and Lei
⸻
[Outro – whisper of the Spirit]
“Sealed not just for time… but all eternity.”
