Behind the Preschool Curtain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with thunder, Some start quiet as a prayer, Ours began behind a curtain, Two small kids were kissing there. Then came M and M's and field day, Star Wars battles on the playground. [Chorus] You've been the center of my world For over thirty years, The steady hand, the quiet strength That gently holds my fears. So when the weight gets heavy, John, Lean on the love we've grown. [Verse 2] Then fate brought us back together, Senior prom beneath the lights, You showed up in crazy sandals, And I laughed into the night. Borrowed cars and long weekend visits, Every mile was worth the drive. [Chorus] You've been the center of my world For over thirty years, The steady hand, the quiet strength That gently holds my fears. So when the weight gets heavy, John, Lean on the love we've grown. [Bridge] Now three wonderful kids carry your heart, And we're planning our daughter's wedding day, Every good thing we built together Grew from a boy who chose to stay. [Verse 3] So when life gets hard, my darling, Look at everything you've done, All the strength you've poured in quiet Shines in each and every one. Thank you for a life of loving, I would choose you all again. [Chorus] You've been the center of my world For over thirty years, The steady hand, the quiet strength That gently holds my fears. So when the weight gets heavy, John, You will never walk alone. [Outro] From a curtain to forever, You're still my favorite place to be, Our family is your legacy, I love you, John, I always will.
