Forty Years of Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a road that winds through distant lands Where a boy grew up with calloused hands He carried dreams across the sea Chasing something he could not yet see A promise waiting on the other side [Chorus] Here we are, forty years of gold Every chapter better than the last one told Through the storms we never let go Love just deepened, steady and slow Here we are, and the best is still to come [Verse 2] You had a plan, a path already drawn Then our eyes met and the map was gone Michael, you fell hard and so did I Two lives colliding under open sky You changed your course and I changed mine And somehow everything aligned [Chorus] Here we are, forty years of gold Every chapter better than the last one told Through the storms we never let go Love just deepened, steady and slow Here we are, and the best is still to come [Bridge] Then Danielle came and changed it all In ways we never planned at all We watched our whole world start to shift With our daughter, our greatest gift [Verse 3] Now the golden years are calling us With grandkid laughter, joy, and trust The boy who crossed the ocean wide Became the man standing by my side Michael, you're my courage and my home The greatest love I've ever known [Chorus] Here we are, forty years of gold Every chapter better than the last one told Through the storms we never let go Love just deepened, steady and slow Here we are, and the best is still to come [Outro] So take my hand, let's walk this road Michael, you're my heart, my beautiful gold
