Patient Saint Lyrics

John Van Deusen Patient Saint

[Verse 1]
I found old photos of you in your wedding dress
Spinning around in the Pemberton gym
No makeup or flowers or anyone else
Just you being you in your own way

[Verse 2]
I still recall the pushback in June
When we told the world what we planned to do
My hair thinned when my sister spoke
And I realized I'd lost the popular vote
[Chorus]
My God
How I took you for granted
And you still harvest pain that I planted
And with the patience of a saint, you wait

[Verse 3]
You should of thrown me out like a cigarette
Burnt out and used, crushed underfoot
Instead you opened your generous arms
Told me you believed that I could become someone

[Chorus]
My God
How I took you for granted
And you still harvest pain that I planted
And with the patience of a saint, you wait

I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
I love you more everyday
