Rooftop in the Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] St. Louis night, the lights were low, A going-away, but I couldn't go. The room got quiet, the crowd all thinned, And there you stood, green eyes, blond hair in the wind. Hours slipped by, the friends all gone, Just you and me, and something drawing me on. [Chorus] And I knew I loved you before I met you, Babe, we danced in the rain on that rooftop high. Twenty-five years, and I'd never let you go, You're the reason my whole world came alive. Kendra, my forever, my joy, my home, Wherever you are is where I belong. [Verse 2] One in the morning, January cold, We danced in the rain, and I gave you my soul. A week together, then tears when I left, A year apart, but never ten days at best. Florida to California, love held on tight, Then I put a ring on your hand one night. [Chorus] And I knew I loved you before I met you, Babe, we danced in the rain on that rooftop high. Twenty-five years, and I'd never let you go, You're the reason my whole world came alive. Kendra, my forever, my joy, my home, Wherever you are is where I belong. [Bridge] We surprised them all, said "I do" that day, And love only grew as the years slipped away. Ben and Noah, now grown and gone, But the home you built still carries on. [Verse 3] You take such care of the boys and me, Every pet, every heart, so tenderly. The warmth in our house, that's all your grace, The center of love in this simple place. Kendra, my Kendra, still lighting my way, I'd choose you again, every single day. [Outro] So here's to us, and the road we've known, Babe, in your arms I am always home.
