Forty-Seven Aprils Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a love that doesn't waver Through the storms and through the years Like a prayer that's always answered Holding close what heaven hears From the moment that I saw her Something whispered, "She's the one" [Chorus] Chris, you are my forever Sealed by grace beyond this life Every sunrise, every season You're the blessing by my side Through the fire, through the fallen hours You never let me go Chris, you are my forever The deepest love I'll ever know [Verse 2] You gave everything for our daughters Raised up five with gentle hands Poured your heart into their growing Built a home on holy land When the weight of life was crushing You stood firm and held the light [Chorus] Chris, you are my forever Sealed by grace beyond this life Every sunrise, every season You're the blessing by my side Through the fire, through the fallen hours You never let me go Chris, you are my forever The deepest love I'll ever know [Bridge] Sixteen grandchildren at your table Love that multiplied through the years What was promised in that temple Echoes on beyond our tears [Verse 3] Forty-seven Aprils together Chicago walls still hold our vow No one living could replace you And I'd choose you again right now You're the faith inside my future You're the answer to my prayers [Chorus] Chris, you are my forever Sealed by grace beyond this life Every sunrise, every season You're the blessing by my side Through the fire, through the fallen hours You never let me go Chris, you are my forever The deepest love I'll ever know [Outro] I'll do anything for you, darling You're the love of all my life
