Bess

[Verse 1]
Back when the world was wide and we were young
Two kids with nothing but a dream to chase
Something about the way you caught my eye
Put every star to shame, lit up the place
We didn't have a lot but had enough
Just a little faith and a whole lot of love

[Chorus]
Oh Bess, you chose me and I still don't know why
But I thank the Lord every single night
Through the good times and the storms we've weathered through
I'm still so in love with you

[Verse 2]
You picked me out to build this life beside
We started small, just two hearts and a prayer
Through every valley and each mountain high
I'd turn around and you were always there
We raised a family on honest ground
And watched the seeds of all that love grow round

[Chorus]
Oh Bess, you chose me and I still don't know why
But I thank the Lord every single night
Through the good times and the storms we've weathered through
I'm still so in love with you

[Bridge]
Now little hands reach up and call us theirs
Grandchildren running through the yard we share
I used to think that I was just a lucky man
But Bess, I know I'm rich beyond what I had planned

[Verse 3]
The house is fuller now with tiny shoes
With laughter echoing down every hall
And every blessing that I'm looking at
It all comes back to you behind it all
Your faith, your joy, your peace through every year
The greatest gift is knowing you are here

[Chorus]
Oh Bess, you chose me and I still don't know why
But I thank the Lord every single night
Through the good times and the storms we've weathered through
I'm still so in love with you

[Outro]
Two kids who started with a dream to chase
Still holding hands in this amazing place
