Hawaiian Shirt and a Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hawaiian shirt and a crooked grin Walking in like the world should spin Around his laugh, around his light The class clown stealing every sight I was the quiet one, nose in a book But something changed with just one look [Chorus] Here's to the years we've built together Through every storm and sunny weather From teenage dreams to something real A love that time could never steal Here's to us and all we've found This sacred, holy, common ground [Verse 2] He said he'd marry me one day At seventeen, what could I say I thought he's crazy, but my heart Knew he was serious from the start Benjamin down on one knee Beneath the Eiffel, asking me [Chorus] Here's to the years we've built together Through every storm and sunny weather From teenage dreams to something real A love that time could never steal Here's to us and all we've found This sacred, holy, common ground [Bridge] Vegas lights and Paris dreams Nothing's ever what it seems Opposites that fit just right Twenty-four years prove it tonight [Verse 3] Now Kennedy and Phoebe play While Lincoln laughs the day away Benjamin designs the shirts Plans the trips and no one hurts Our chef, comedian, and our bear Sweet dadda with the biggest care Three babies blessed beneath our roof Benjamin, you're living proof [Chorus] Here's to the years we've built together Through every storm and sunny weather From teenage dreams to something real A love that time could never steal Here's to us and all we've found This sacred, holy, common ground [Outro] Twelve years married, still that boy Hawaiian shirt and reckless joy Benjamin, you're still the one My forever's just begun
