Forty Years and Stronger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a dance, a nervous high school night My sister leaned and asked me if you looked just right The years began to turn, the pages of our song Two kids who found forever, and knew right where they belonged And somewhere in the music, my whole heart came alive [Chorus] Oh, your love has always been there Through every storm we'd weather, every prayer You make me who I am, my faith, my home Jennifer Sue, I've never walked alone [Verse 2] That old Escort on a back road, dust behind the wheel I asked you there to marry me, my heart down on its knee From college caps to Silverlake, the weekends flew like doves And Eric and Allison, our twin babies, our love [Chorus] Oh, your love has always been there Through every storm we'd weather, every prayer You make me who I am, my faith, my home Jennifer Sue, I've never walked alone [Bridge] Forty years and stronger, a legacy so true The children grown and gone now, but I still reach for you [Verse 3] We drove through every state, we chased the open sky And I love you more each morning, the reason and the why You bring me peace, sweet mama, in everything I do This grateful heart still beats for you, my Jennifer Sue [Chorus] Oh, your love has always been there Through every storm we'd weather, every prayer You make me who I am, my faith, my home Jennifer Sue, I've never walked alone [Outro] Two friends who found their better days Forever, love, and grace
