Two Pews Down From Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a little white church by the desert lake Where a hymn can rise and a heart can wake Back in '83 I was just a girl Sitting two pews down from my whole world Havasu sun on a Sunday morn I didn't know yet what my heart was for [Chorus] You'd give the shirt right off your back Hold us up when the sky turns black For every soul, not just your own You're the steady heart that makes this home Happy birthday to the man I choose Every single day, it's always you [Verse 2] Life pulled us down two different roads Thirty-four years with a heart on hold Then you walked in, Steve, April fifteen Smiled at me like a long lost dream Cincinnati, then San Diego too Too cold for me, but warm with you [Chorus] You'd give the shirt right off your back Hold us up when the sky turns black For every soul, not just your own You're the steady heart that makes this home Happy birthday to the man I choose Every single day, it's always you [Bridge] A year to the day, we said I do Your two, my three, and then came more Seven precious babies through our door And two of them stayed forevermore [Verse 3] Three long years of holding tight Now they're ours, and the future's bright Seven kids, fifteen grandkids strong Phoenix noise and a kitchen song It's total chaos, Lord, it's true But I wouldn't trade a day with you [Chorus] You'd give the shirt right off your back Hold us up when the sky turns black For every soul, not just your own You're the steady heart that makes this home Happy birthday, Steve, the man I choose Every single day, it's always you [Outro] From a Havasu pew to our forever home Steve, with you I'm never alone
