Corn Cobs and All

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some days the world gets loud and gray And I forget the words to say But there's a kitchen light still on A voice that hums an easy song You catch the jokes that no one gets And laugh like I'm the best one yet [Chorus] You're my safe place, my person, my best friend The one I'd choose again and again You take my worries, hold them in your hands And love me whole, like no one can Through all the years and all we do I'd rather go through life with you [Verse 2] From high school halls to college nights Corn cobs and all, our early lights Then, Richard, when I ran on empty You carried me so tenderly And every day you showed up true The father that our children knew [Chorus] You're my safe place, my person, my best friend The one I'd choose again and again You take my worries, hold them in your hands And love me whole, like no one can Through all the years and all we do I'd rather go through life with you [Bridge] You see me weird, and wild, and sad Petty and goofy, quiet, glad What a gift, Richard, to be known And never once feel all alone [Verse 3] You know a thousand things by heart History, stars, and how things start And when you're wrong, you say it's so Then mend it gently, soft and slow Now in these golden years we share I'm still amazed that you are there [Chorus] You're still my safe place, my person, my best friend The one I'd choose again and again You take my worries, hold them in your hands And love me whole, like no one can Through all the years and all we do I'd rather go through life with you [Outro] My safe place, my person, my best friend Richard, I'd choose you again
