Walt

[Verse 1]
Some loves are written in the quiet,
In the way a hand holds yours through night.
Some loves are forged in dust and fire,
In the trenches where we learned to fight.
Two thousand three, the desert sky,
That's where my forever caught my eye.

[Chorus]
Oh, my safe place, my steady ground,
The truest love I ever found.
Through every storm, through every war,
You're the home I'm grateful for.
Day in, day out, you light my way,
My heart, my husband, every day.

[Verse 2]
You opened up your arms so wide,
Took Dakota in, called him your own.
Then Zander came, our answered prayer,
You taught them both how to drive alone.
Twenty summers down at the OBX,
Cribbage hands and salt-kissed breath.

[Chorus]
Oh, my safe place, my steady ground,
The truest love I ever found.
Through every storm, through every war,
You're the home I'm grateful for.
Day in, day out, you light my way,
My heart, my husband, every day.

[Bridge]
Walt, I don't deserve the way you love,
But God knows I'll spend my life thankful for.
Best cat dad too, with that gentle touch,
Remmy, Lucifer, Macaroni, Ruppert, so much.

[Verse 3]
There are dreams still waiting down the road,
Open highways, suitcases, and skies.
You'll be the one beside me always,
My forever, my favorite ride.
Happy birthday to the man I chose,
The one my whole heart only knows.

[Chorus]
Oh, my safe place, my steady ground,
The truest love I ever found.
Through every storm, through every war,
You're the home I'm grateful for.
Day in, day out, you light my way,
Walt, my husband, every day.

[Outro]
So here's to you, my steady flame,
Forever proud to share your name.
