Every April With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some stories start in ordinary ways A meeting room, a Tuesday afternoon But then she laughed and said get in the car We've got a hamster to return real soon That little bite-sized troublemaker rode along And I just knew my world was changing tune [Chorus] Here's to the one who makes the hard look easy Who holds the light when skies are turning grey Here's to the love that only grows with seasons Penny, I'd choose you every single day [Verse 2] Miss Rix they called you, standing tall and kind Teaching little hearts to read and dream Now sixty-somethings still remember you The one who made them brave, who made them seen You gave them roots and wings in equal measure And you gave me more than I could ever mean [Chorus] Here's to the one who makes the hard look easy Who holds the light when skies are turning grey Here's to the love that only grows with seasons Penny, I'd choose you every single day [Bridge] When the storm came for MacKenzie You stood like steel and prayer Your courage wrote the story Of a mother's fiercer care [Verse 3] Now Felix runs ahead and Max is chasing Thirty-three Aprils lined up in a row We've packed our bags for Africa together Still side by side wherever the road may go [Verse 4] Her daddy called her Peanuts way back when A twin who'd find a twin to call her own Two mirrors of a bond we each were born to Together built a love like nothing known From hamster rides to sunsets on the savanna Penny, you're the best thing I've been shown [Chorus] Here's to the one who makes the hard look easy Who holds the light when skies are turning grey Here's to the love that only grows with seasons Penny, I'd choose you every single day [Outro] Thirty-three years and I'm still grateful For that car ride and for you Penny, my love, my greatest adventure Every word of this is true
