Zen

[Verse 1]
It started with a simple call,
A stranger's voice, and that was all.
Six years ago I cast a line
On plenty of fish, and you were mine.
No words were said, we caught that stare,
And I felt something rare.

[Chorus]
And I said more than like — I love you true,
Zen, I do too. Gone fishing,
Chasing grace through every mile,
Falling for your brown eyes and your crazy smile.
You're my comfort, you're my prayer,
My whole world, standing there.

[Verse 2]
Salt and pepper, faith so wide,
You give your heart to every side —
To Cortland girls out on the field,
Long after graduation, their love is sealed.
They'll always thank the one called Doc,
For every hour, every walk.

[Chorus]
And I said more than like — I love you true,
Zen, I do too. Gone fishing,
Chasing grace through every mile,
Falling for your brown eyes and your crazy smile.
You're my comfort, you're my prayer,
My whole world, standing there.

[Bridge]
You say you never do enough,
But love, you don't have to prove your love —
You are enough, just as you are,
A gentle, kindness-spreading star.

[Verse 3]
For Fred you named a day of grace,
So kindness fills this weary place.
With Beezlee, Hector at our feet,
And Coffee Mania where we'd meet —
That first sweet chocolate that we shared,
I knew right then how much I cared.

[Chorus]
And I said more than like — I love you true,
Zen, I do too. Gone fishing,
Chasing grace through every mile,
Falling for your brown eyes and your crazy smile.
You're my comfort, you're my prayer,
My whole world, standing there.

[Outro]
No words could hold all that you do,
Forever, Zen — I do too.
Gone fishing, side by side,
My devoted, faithful bride.
