Wayne

[Verse 1]
Forty years since a chance was taken,
Two hearts young and unafraid,
Twenty-two and twenty-three,
On a blind date that fate had made.
I didn't know back then, my love,
That I had found my whole life through.

[Chorus]
You held my hand through every storm,
You gave me strength when I was worn,
A love so steady, deep, and true,
Wayne, there's no one quite like you.
Through all the years, through joy and pain,
I'd choose this life with you again.

[Verse 2]
A tiny boy came far too soon,
Three pounds, so fragile, oh so small,
But Erik grew up strong and brave,
And you loved him through it all.
The night he came, I saw your face,
Pure love no words could ever say.

[Chorus]
You held my hand through every storm,
You gave me strength when I was worn,
A love so steady, deep, and true,
Wayne, there's no one quite like you.
Through all the years, through joy and pain,
I'd choose this life with you again.

[Bridge]
When the fight came, you never left my side,
You wore that badge with honor, still my guide.
A devoted man who gives his all,
You'd move the world, you'd never let us fall.

[Verse 3]
You serve your officers with pride,
You'd give your everything for them,
But home is where your heart belongs,
With family, again and again.
So here's to forty golden years,
And all the ones we've yet to see.

[Chorus]
You held my hand through every storm,
You gave me strength when I was worn,
A love so steady, deep, and true,
Wayne, there's no one quite like you.
Through all the years, through joy and pain,
I'd choose this life with you again.

[Outro]
Forty years, and still I'm sure,
My Wayne, I love you more and more.
