Don't Screw This Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty years ago I saw you walk in Heart pounding loud beneath my skin I whispered low, "Don't screw this up" You were the dream filling my cup Smart and kind, a quiet grace And somehow you chose my face [Chorus] Here's to you, my steady light The joy that carries me through the night Through every storm, through every test You've been my comfort, you've been my rest Wendy, oh how the years have flown The sweetest love I've ever known [Verse 2] You wear your brilliance like a song A PhD, but soft and strong You laugh at jokes I've told before And still you open every door The whole package, that's no lie And somehow I'm the lucky guy [Chorus] Here's to you, my steady light The joy that carries me through the night Through every storm, through every test You've been my comfort, you've been my rest Wendy, oh how the years have flown The sweetest love I've ever known [Bridge] When fear came knocking at our door You stood your ground on the bedroom floor Pushed through the panic, held the line Kept me here, kept me alive [Verse 3] I can't play the strings I used to play So let these words be what I say You are the music in my chest The grace, the calm, the very best Thirty years and I still know I'd whisper it again, hello [Chorus] Here's to you, my steady light The joy that carries me through the night Through every storm, through every test You've been my comfort, you've been my rest Wendy, oh how the years have flown The sweetest love I've ever known [Outro] Icing on the cake, my dear Thank you for these thirty years Wendy, my forever song
