Forever and Two Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that finds you in the dark A feeling that you know before it starts In a haunted house on a college night Something scared me more than any fright A smile that lit the room right through the fog And I knew my heart was gone [Chorus] I'll love you forever, and two days Through every season, every turning phase You're the courage when the road gets steep The quiet faith that never falls asleep I'll love you forever, and two days [Verse 2] You held it all with patience and with grace Every time I chased some distant place You were steady, turning page by page Writing our story through every stage Then two daughters came and changed the world Jane, you held them close, our precious girls [Chorus] I'll love you forever, and two days Through every season, every turning phase You're the courage when the road gets steep The quiet faith that never falls asleep I'll love you forever, and two days [Bridge] When the storm came knocking, not just once but twice Jane, you stood like morning breaking through the ice You became the hope that everyone held tight A warrior wrapped in gentle light [Verse 3] Now three grandkids climb into your arms Still that same smile working all its charms Forty-five years deep, and here we stand Your book-worn fingers laced inside my hand You read a thousand stories, but here's the one that's true Jane, my greatest chapter has been you [Chorus] I'll love you forever, and two days Through every season, every turning phase You're the courage when the road gets steep The quiet faith that never falls asleep I'll love you forever, and two days [Outro] From a haunted house to a life this blessed Jane, with you I found my very best
