From the Cornfields to My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seventy years of morning light, A journey stretching brave and wide, From open plains where cornfields grow, To a heart that chose to let love go Where it needed most to be — You crossed the miles and came to me. [Chorus] Oh Shari, you're my steady ground, The peace I've searched for, now I've found, Through every season, storm, and sun, You are the one, you're the one. Happy birthday, love of mine, My rock, my joy, my valentine. [Verse 2] A Baltimore room, a crowded floor, Two strangers finding something more, You left Nebraska's amber skies For Richmond streets and these tired eyes. You built a home, you built a life, My greatest gift, my precious wife. [Chorus] Oh Shari, you're my steady ground, The peace I've searched for, now I've found, Through every season, storm, and sun, You are the one, you're the one. Happy birthday, love of mine, My rock, my joy, my valentine. [Bridge] Seventy candles, soft and gold, A love that only grows more bold, Every laugh and every tear, Has led us both to right now, here. [Verse 3] So let the family gather 'round, With cake and song and joyful sound, For all the days you've held me strong, Now let me sing to you this song. Shari, from your first to last, You are my future, present, past. [Chorus] Oh Shari, you're my steady ground, The peace I've searched for, now I've found, Through every season, storm, and sun, You are the one, you're the one. Happy birthday, love of mine, My rock, my joy, my valentine. [Outro] From Nebraska plains to Richmond's door, I'll love you now and evermore.
