That Night Under Open Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was music in the air that night Under stars and open sky One dance was all it took to know Something changed I can't deny A feeling hit like summer light Love at first sight burning bright Then at Pam and Dan's it only grew Every moment leading straight to you [Chorus] Melinda you're the love of my life My comfort my shelter my beautiful wife Through thirty-eight years you've been standing right here The woman I love every day of the year [Verse 2] The third time you brought Sarah along And I knew what I had to do I wasn't just asking for your hand I was asking for both of you From three we grew to five You held it all together through the storm A military wife who gave it all Kept every heart safe and warm [Chorus] Melinda you're the love of my life My comfort my shelter my beautiful wife Through thirty-eight years you've been standing right here The woman I love every day of the year [Bridge] A mother to three and a Mema to twelve You raised me too and that couldn't be easy Headstrong and funny and caring and real Your legacy's something that few ever build [Verse 3] People stand in awe of what we share Even speedbumps couldn't shake us down To this very day you give me goosebumps You're the safest place I've found I'll protect you and I'll shield you With everything I am At fifty-nine you're just as beautiful As the night this love began [Chorus] Melinda you're the love of my life My comfort my shelter my beautiful wife Through thirty-eight years you've been standing right here The woman I love every day of the year [Outro] Here's to every year ahead of us Melinda my forever my love and my trust
