Back to You, Pretty Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty years ago I found you Just a stranger passing through Never knew that ordinary day Would hand my whole heart to you Then the world and all its hurry Pulled us far and out of view [Chorus] But I came back to you, pretty girl The only love in all this world Through the years and the miles apart You're the beat inside my heart Happy birthday, my dear one You're the reason for my sun [Verse 2] Five long years we drifted lonely Then somehow we found our way And we swore right then and always We'd never let each other stray Now we laugh like careless children Chasing joy through every day [Chorus] So I'll stay right here, pretty girl The only love in all this world Through the years and the miles apart You're the beat inside my heart Happy birthday, my dear one You're the reason for my sun [Bridge] Our kids just shake their heads and grin Two grown fools, young hearts within Steph, you're the strength I lean upon The gentle comfort I've built on [Verse 3] Stephanie, my whole tomorrow Is a promise made to you I can't picture one bright morning Without you here to walk me through So thank you for the love you've given Steady, faithful, tender, true [Chorus] And I'll love you still, pretty girl The only love in all this world Through the years and the miles apart You're the beat inside my heart Happy birthday, my dear one You're the reason for my sun [Outro] Here's to you, my pretty girl My forever, my whole world
