This anniversary song celebrates a love that found its way back after loss, when two people who had each shared four decades with a beloved spouse discovered that the heart still has room to begin again. It's a story of laughter on unexpected days, of families woven together, and of a bond that has only grown stronger through sixteen years of holding hands. Healing, strength, and peace echo through every verse, a reminder that second chances can be every bit as deep and lasting as the first.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads run long and lonely After forty years of vows Two hearts that knew forever Were left with empty houses now Then a message on a screen one night And a smile that lit the room [Chorus] You built a new life for me When I thought my heart was through You hold my hand and the storm goes still Like it always knew it would with you We made love work the second time around Brenda, it grows stronger every day [Verse 2] Second date I drove you to the theme park Didn't stop for breakfast on the way You asked me for at least some fries Then the gates were closed that day So we found a little city park And laughed the whole afternoon away [Chorus] You built a new life for me When I thought my heart was through You hold my hand and the storm goes still Like it always knew it would with you We made love work the second time around Brenda, it grows stronger every day [Bridge] We said goodbye three times Thought it wouldn't work out But we kept coming back like we knew What this love was all about [Verse 3] Your three boys and my three girls Your heart made room for every one She says playfully that she is a busy woman But I'm her Boo-boo, she's Mrs. Boo-boo Sixteen years of holding hands And it feels like we've just begun [Chorus] You built a new life for me When I thought my heart was through You hold my hand and the storm goes still Like it always knew it would with you We made love work the second time around Brenda, it grows stronger every day [Outro] A smile that lights the room A hand that holds mine still Second time around, forever
