Every Brick We Laid

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirty-four years of morning coffee poured, Sunrise painting gold across the floor. We built this life with our own two hands, Laid every brick, made all our plans. And when the world got heavy on me, There you stood, steady as a tree. [Chorus] Oh, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through every storm and every mile, You give it all with that easy smile. Here's to us, and all we are — Mike, my heart, my brightest star. [Verse 2] Thick brown hair with a touch of gray, More handsome now than yesterday. Two crazy dogs at the kitchen door, Your bread loaf cat asleep on the floor. You give your all to our little band, The kindest heart, the strongest hands. [Chorus] Oh, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through every storm and every mile, You give it all with that easy smile. Here's to us, and all we are — Mike, my heart, my brightest star. [Bridge] Always ready to share a round, A seafood tower, laughter loud. Generous soul, you give and give — You taught me how to really live. [Verse 3] So here's to all the years to come, The dance we've only just begun. I'd choose you every single day, In every single kind of way. Grateful, joyful, standing here, More in love with every year. [Chorus] Oh, you're my rock, my steady ground, The truest love I ever found. Through every storm and every mile, You give it all with that easy smile. Here's to us, and all we are — Mike, my heart, my brightest star. [Outro] So raise a glass to me and you, A love that's honest, strong, and true.
