Here's to the Man Who Stayed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A smoky room, a game of pool Two strangers playing it cool Phones exchanged beneath the lights That's how we started our nights Little did I know back then That stranger would become my best friend [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed Through every storm we weathered and made A home, a love, a life so true There's nowhere I'd rather be than next to you Through all the years, through joy and tears You're still my heart after all these years [Verse 2] Three years in, another club, another song He dropped to both his knees, said come along Pulled a diamond from his coat Stole the breath right from my throat Said yes a thousand times that night And every morning since felt right [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed Through every storm we weathered and made A home, a love, a life so true There's nowhere I'd rather be than next to you Through all the years, through joy and tears You're still my heart after all these years [Bridge] Orestes, you're the rock our family knows The gentle strength from which our love still grows Two children taught us how to be The family we were meant to be [Verse 3] Thirty years of holding tight Through the scary days and nights You held me close with steady hands A love that always understands Happy anniversary, my love, my friend Partner in this life until the end [Chorus] Here's to the man who stayed Through every storm we weathered and made A home, a love, a life so true There's nowhere I'd rather be than next to you Orestes, my forever, my song Right next to you is where I belong [Outro] Every day, every mile Orestes, you're still my smile Next to you, that's where I'll be Now and through eternity
