First Thing Through the Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-five years down a winding road Through every season, every heavy load A young man stationed far from home Found a love he'd never outgrow Somewhere in Europe, stars hung low And everything I needed started to show [Chorus] Diane, you are my steady ground The faith I lost and then I found No conditions, no walls between Just the realest love I've ever seen Growing old and growing strong Diane, with you is where I belong [Verse 2] We packed our lives in duffel bags Chased the world through foreign lands Air Force roads kept moving on But you made everywhere feel like home Campfire smoke and fishing lines Country roads and mountain signs [Chorus] Diane, you are my steady ground The faith I lost and then I found No conditions, no walls between Just the realest love I've ever seen Growing old and growing strong Diane, with you is where I belong [Bridge] And I still look for you First thing when I walk through that door After all these miles, all these years I only love you more [Verse 3] We drove on purpose just to see Every corner of this world, you and me No notions, just an open heart You gave me courage from the start Walking under stars like that first night Everything feels whole when you're in sight [Chorus] Diane, you are my steady ground The faith I lost and then I found No conditions, no walls between Just the realest love I've ever seen Growing old and growing strong Diane, with you is where I belong [Outro] Still reveling in this gift we share Forty-five years and I'm still right here
