Verse 1 We met in the spring of ‘95, Two hearts just learning how to fly. By fall of ‘97, I said “I do,” But I walked that aisle without my father, Still, I found my strength in you. Verse 2 We dreamed of lullabies and little feet, But the road to parenthood was bittersweet. Nine times we hoped, nine times we cried, But you held my hand through every night, And never once let go of the light. Chorus You were more than you had to be, A steady rock, a calm in me. When I was breaking, you believed, Through every storm, you never leave. God knew what we couldn’t see, You brought us the boys who made us complete. You’ve always been more than you had to be. Verse 3 You saw the mother in me still, When I had nothing but a prayer and will. You said, “Let’s open up our hearts and home,” And God gave us sons to call our own. Now love fills every room we roam. Bridge Through cancer’s fight, through every test, You stood beside me, gave your best. Cheered me on through every class, Never let me finish last. You saw the woman I could be, Even when I couldn’t see me. Chorus You were more than you had to be, A quiet strength, a sanctuary. When I was weary, you believed, You gave me space, you gave me peace. You’ve loved me through it faithfully, You’ve always been more than you had to be. Outro So here’s to 28 years and more, To every open, waiting door. I thank God every day for you and me, For a love that’s deeper than the sea. You’ve always been more than you had to be. And that’s everything to me.
Lyrics
We met in the spring of ‘95,
Two hearts just learning how to fly.
By fall of ‘97, I said “I do,”
But I walked that aisle without my father,
Still, I found my strength in you.
We dreamed of lullabies and little feet,
But the road to parenthood was bittersweet.
Nine times we hoped, nine times we cried,
But you held my hand through every night,
And never once let go of the light.
You were more than you had to be,
A steady rock, a calm in me.
When I was breaking, you believed,
Through every storm, you never leave.
God knew what we couldn’t see,
You brought us the boys who made us complete.
You’ve always been more than you had to be.
You saw the mother in me still,
When I had nothing but a prayer and will.
You said, “Let’s open up our hearts and home,”
And God gave us sons to call our own.
Now love fills every room we roam.
Through cancer’s fight, through every test,
You stood beside me, gave your best.
Cheered me on through every class,
Never let me finish last.
You saw the woman I could be,
Even when I couldn’t see me.
You were more than you had to be,
A quiet strength, a sanctuary.
When I was weary, you believed,
You gave me space, you gave me peace.
You’ve loved me through it faithfully,
You’ve always been more than you had to be.So here’s to 28 years and more,
To every open, waiting door.
I thank God every day for you and me,
For a love that’s deeper than the sea.
You’ve always been more than you had to be.
And that’s everything to me.
