The Wind Brought You Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some moments stay inside the heart No matter where we roam The salt air and the restless sky The waves against the stone I was twenty-three on a windswept cliff One look, and I was home [Chorus] So here's to us, here's to the years Here's to the love that found its way Through every mile and all the tears Back to this golden day Charlton, I'm grateful for you My hero, my forever true [Verse 2] You were tall and thirty-seven California coast so bright But you had to go, and life rolled on Like ships into the night Forty-two long years would pass Before you came back into sight [Chorus] So here's to us, here's to the years Here's to the love that found its way Through every mile and all the tears Back to this golden day Charlton, I'm grateful for you My hero, my forever true [Bridge] Who knew the wind would bring you back Across a lifetime's winding road Who knew that love could wait so long And still have so much left to hold [Verse 3] Father, husband, pilot in the sky Creative, capable, and true You left all the rubber on the road In everything you'd do The most interesting man in the world And I get to grow old with you [Chorus] So here's to us, here's to the years Here's to new beginnings, too Through every mile and all the tears That cliff still led me to you Charlton Stanley, my love, my own With you I'm finally home [Outro] The wind still whispers on that coast Of all we came to be Here's to golden years ahead Forever you and me
