The Wonder Of Them All

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two years of letters cross the sea, A voice on a screen was all I'd see. Then I flew from England's rain To Arizona sun again — And when I finally held your hand, The whole world made its plan. [Chorus] Oh, you're my forever, my steady ground, The truest heart that I ever found. Through every mile and every mountain wide, You've been my strength and my guide. Happy birthday, Candy Brown, The greatest love that I've known. [Verse 2] Two years we weighed which shore to keep, Then Niagara roared and made us weep — A honeymoon before the vow, Brown County pines to bless us now. You love my kids across the sea Like they were born of you and me. [Chorus] Oh, you're my forever, my steady ground, The truest heart that I ever found. Through every mile and every mountain wide, You've been my strength and my guide. Happy birthday, Candy Brown, The greatest love that I've known. [Bridge] Twelve years this November light, You look after me day and night. No distance ever stood a chance — You turned a screen into this dance. [Verse 3] Now Yellowstone will hear your name, September wind, that morning flame. I'll watch the geysers rise and fall, But you're the wonder of them all. From Indiana to Wyoming skies, I still get lost in your eyes. [Chorus] Oh, you're my forever, my steady ground, The truest heart that I ever found. Through every mile and every mountain wide, You've been my strength and my guide. Happy birthday, Candy Brown, The greatest love that I've known. [Outro] So here's to you, my devoted heart, The one who healed the miles apart. Happy birthday, Candy Brown — Forever yours, and homeward bound.
