On My Father's Birthday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hallways of a small-town school Notebook hearts and golden rules Spring of eighty-one, caps in the air A summer wind, a whispered prayer August came and I gave my vow On my father's birthday, somehow [Chorus] And the love just kept us holding on Through the gentle days and the seasons gone Forty-five years, still side by side You're my comfort, you're my guide Terry, you're the song my heart still sings Through every storm that this life brings [Verse 2] Two little ones to call our own Kristan's laugh, Tyler's grown A house of noise, a kitchen light Bedtime stories, stars at night We built it slow, we built it true Every dream I dreamed with you [Chorus] And the love just kept us holding on Through the gentle days and the seasons gone Forty-five years, still side by side You're my comfort, you're my guide Terry, you're the song my heart still sings Through every storm that this life brings [Bridge] When we lost our girl, the world stood still But you held my hand, and you always will Some angels walk, and some take wing And love remembers everything [Verse 3] Tyler found his Dani too Family grows the way love do Kristan's smile in every dawn Carried with us, never gone Terry, look how far we've come Two hearts beating like one drum [Chorus] And the love just kept us holding on Through the gentle days and the seasons gone Forty-five years, still side by side You're my comfort, you're my guide Terry, you're the song my heart still sings Through every storm that this life brings [Outro] On my father's birthday, I said I do And I'd say it again, only with you
