Forty-Five Springs With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-five springs have come and gone Since the season changed and we started on A road that wound through the hills and rain Through the laughter and the growing pains I was just a man with a hopeful heart You were everything right from the start [Chorus] Melissa, I mean it when I say You're beautiful, more and more each day You're the peace I find, the strength I need The reason I'm the man you see And I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Verse 2] You raised three kids with a steady hand With a gentle voice and a quiet plan You held this family like holy ground You were always there when the world spun round And when I tell you what I see You just shake your head and smile at me [Chorus] Melissa, I mean it when I say You're beautiful, more and more each day You're the peace I find, the strength I need The reason I'm the man you see And I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Bridge] You don't believe me, but it's true There's no version of my life without you Every good thing traces back To the love I found and never lacked [Verse 3] That first day of spring so long ago The flowers opened and the rivers flowed And something in the air just knew That the best of me would come from you So here's to forty-five and counting on Melissa, you're my favorite song [Chorus] Melissa, I mean it when I say You're beautiful, more and more each day You're the peace I find, the strength I need The reason I'm the man you see And I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Outro] Spring keeps coming back around And my love for you, it knows no bounds
