Brad Tinsley

[Verse 1]
A stranger in a foreign land,
Sixteen, no words to understand.
A boy kept staring 'cross the gym,
Wrote a letter, so I'd know him.
I couldn't read it, couldn't say,
But somehow love still found a way.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brad Tinsley, you drove that orange car,
Just to sit beside me, wherever we are.
Through the thick and thin, you stayed right here,
Thirty-nine years, and I hold you near.
You're my everything, my steady light,
My love, my always, my day and night.

[Verse 2]
You followed me down midnight roads,
On that motorcycle, through the cold.
You made me family, made me strong,
Gave my brother, sister, a place to belong.
A scholarship, a life, a name —
Without your hands, I'd not be the same.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brad Tinsley, you drove that orange car,
Just to sit beside me, wherever we are.
Through the thick and thin, you stayed right here,
Thirty-nine years, and I hold you near.
You're my everything, my steady light,
My love, my always, my day and night.

[Bridge]
Eight long months you served away,
I waited, prayed for you each day.
You came home, and I held on tight —
God, I love this man of mine.

[Verse 3]
From casino chips to Disney skies,
Our son grew up before our eyes.
The storm has slowed your steady stride,
But I'll be right here by your side.
Till death do part, this vow I give —
For all the days we've got to live.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brad, you're the greatest man I've known,
Every road you walked, I've never walked alone.
Through the thick and thin, you'll stay right here,
Thirty-nine years, and forever near.

[Outro]
Thank you, my love, for all you've done,
My wonderful man, my only one.
