Behind a Counter Long Ago

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that began behind a counter long ago Two paychecks and a name tag, who'd have ever known A manager, a coworker, a spark we couldn't hide Now look at all the road we've walked side by side [Chorus] Here's to you, my love, on your day To every mile, every dream along the way From the family we built to the home we found Happy birthday, darlin', I'm so glad you're around [Verse 2] From Eau Claire to Woodbury, then your hometown called us back Neillsville welcomed us with open arms and country tracks A beautiful white wedding, three blessings down the line Nicholas, Samantha, Jessica, all yours and mine [Chorus] Here's to you, my love, on your day To every mile, every dream along the way From the family we built to the home we found Happy birthday, Jamie, I'm so glad you're around [Bridge] We've had our ups and downs, but we kept holding tight Every storm we weathered taught us how to fight [Verse 3] Now little Colter calls you Grandpa, what a sound And soon this quiet house will be just us around A brand new chapter waiting, empty nest in view Jamie, there's no one I'd rather walk it through with than you [Chorus] Here's to you, my love, on your day To every mile, every dream along the way From the family we built to the home we found Happy birthday, Jamie, I'm so glad you're around [Outro] Happy birthday, darlin', the best is yet to be Just you, just me, and all our memories
