Both a Sorrow and a Start

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Casino lights and a country song, I was playing my heart out, trying to be strong. The world had gone quiet, my father just gone, Then a blonde-haired angel came walking along. Blue eyes that listened while I found my way, I found you again at that bar the next day. [Chorus] Melissa, oh Melissa, you're the love I never knew, You pulled me out of the storm and saved my life, Now I'm walking home to you. Ten years down this dusty road, Still my best friend, still my whole world too. [Verse 2] You work so hard, then you love just as hard, Weekend margaritas, playing every card. Strong-willed and steady, disciplined and true, Aces Wild rolling wherever we're due. Crab legs and crawfish, that Mexican light, My boo-boo beside me every mile of the night. [Chorus] Melissa, oh Melissa, you're the love I never knew, You pulled me out of the storm and saved my life, Now I'm walking home to you. Ten years down this dusty road, Still my best friend, still my whole world too. [Bridge] August first, both a sorrow and a start, The day I lost him, the day you took my heart. Heaven traded grief for a golden ring — You turned my ending into everything. [Verse 3] From Vegas vows to the roads we roam, Every stage we play, girl, you feel like home. Ten years of laughter, ten years of grace, I'd choose you again in any time or place. [Chorus] Melissa, oh Melissa, you're the love I always knew, You pulled me out of the storm and saved my life, Now I'm walking home to you. [Outro] Happy anniversary, boo-boo of mine, Forever your fool, till the end of the line.
