Keith

[Verse 1]
Some love stories start with thunder,
Some begin with just a glance,
Ours began on a Navy ship
With a sailor and a chance.
My brother brought you to my door,
And Keith, you never left.

[Chorus]
It's not always easy, but it is always worth it,
Through every storm, Babe, we stayed and we earned it,
We were barely grown when we said I do,
We grew up side by side,
And I choose you every single day
For the rest of my life.

[Verse 2]
We built a home with our own two hands,
Raised three daughters, strong and true,
Now four grandbabies run the yard
With a little bit of you.
You love us all with open arms,
You carry every load.

[Chorus]
It's not always easy, but it is always worth it,
Through every storm, Babe, we stayed and we earned it,
We were barely grown when we said I do,
We grew up side by side,
And I choose you every single day
For the rest of my life.

[Bridge]
There were nights the walls felt heavy,
Seasons when we both were tired,
But we mended what was broken,
And we kept alive the fire.

[Verse 3]
Forty years of loyal promise,
Forty years of steady hands,
You're the one who holds us together,
The heart of all our plans.
Keith, I thank God for that ship,
And the night you found my door.

[Chorus]
It's not always easy, but it is always worth it,
Through every storm, Babe, we stayed and we earned it,
We were barely grown when we said I do,
We grew up side by side,
And I'll choose you every single day
Forever, for the rest of my life.

[Outro]
Thousands of memories, I'd keep every one,
Babe, I'm thankful you're mine,
Here's to forty more.
