From the Bottom, Now We're Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in two thousand and seven Out beneath that summer sun A stranger wiped the sweat from my forehead Before the day was done Before we said goodbye, I smiled and said, "Do you want my number?" instead [Chorus] From the bottom, look how far we've come From almost nothing to everything we've become Ricky and Ameenah, side by side Building dreams with love as our guide Six little hearts that call you Dad TOGETHER, the greatest love, Ameenah, we've ever had You healed the parts of me that hurt Bemee, You showed me what forever's worth [Verse 2] Eighteen years of holding tighter Through the breaks and through the mend We let go, then we came running Back to where it all began Ladonna, Brandon, Jordan smiling, Ricky, Omari standing tall Sandrakay and Alonzo, Shirleyann—you love them all [Chorus] From the bottom, look how far we've come From almost nothing to everything we've become Ricky and Ameenah, side by side Building dreams with love as our guide Six little hearts that call you Dad TOGETHER, the greatest love, Ameenah, we've ever had You healed the parts of me that hurt Bemee, You showed me what forever's worth [Bridge] Oh, Ricky Montgomery, You're the answered prayer I never thought I'd see You made my whole life complete [Verse 3] Happy Father's Day, my husband, My beginning and my end You're the handyman who never quits, Cooking, cleaning time and again While I keep our home with love, Together we've built the life we dreamed of Every morning I still thank God For the day you walked back in [Chorus] From the bottom, look how far we've come From almost nothing to everything we've become Ricky and Ameenah, side by side Building dreams with love as our guide Six little hearts that call you Dad TOGETHER, the greatest love, Ameenah, we've ever had You healed the parts of me that hurt Bemee, You showed me what forever's worth [Outro] From the bottom, now we're here My forever, my dear Ricky and Ameenah forever true Ricky Montgomery, we made it through
