Every Mile With You, Dan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people find a love that holds through every storm A hand to hold when seas get rough, a place that feels like warm Twenty years of Navy blue, from coast to coast we'd roam San Diego sunsets fading, but you always brought me home [Chorus] Here's to the life we built together Every mile and every year Through the orders and the letters You were always standing here Thirty-eight years and I'd do it all again My love, my rock, my best friend Dan [Verse 2] Pensacola, Jacksonville, Montgomery in between Washington was beautiful but crowded at the seams Then ninety-seven changed it all, the greatest gift times three Harrison and Taylor, Davis running wild and free [Verse 2B – New] You were their first coach on every field they’d play Soccer, hoops, and baseball, guiding them each day With patience and with love, you showed them how to stand And all those trips and memories still feel close at hand Boats and snow and Disney days, those nights in Vegas lights Golfing, mountains, fishing trips, the best days of our lives [Chorus] Here's to the life we built together Every mile and every year Through the orders and the letters You were always standing here Thirty-eight years and I'd do it all again My love, my rock, my best friend Dan [Bridge] Now Reese and Ovie call you Poppy, and it fits you like a crown The strongest man I've ever known who never let us down Pup, you gave us everything and made it look like grace I see our whole forever written right across your face [Verse 3] You traded uniforms for mornings slow and sweet But still you show up every day and sweep me off my feet Dedicated, steady, true, a legacy of love A father and a Poppy sent from somewhere up above [Chorus] Here's to the life we built together Every mile and every year Through the orders and the letters You were always standing here Thirty-eight years and I'd do it all again My love, my rock, my best friend Dan [Outro] So thank you, Dan, for choosing me For every chapter yet to be
