My Best Thing, All These Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks search a lifetime For a love that's strong and true But I found mine on a summer road When someone followed through A boy from the farm across the way With brown eyes and a smile I didn't know that kid would be My forever, all the while [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to us Forty-nine years of love and trust Through the laughter, through the tears You're my best thing, all these years Our love is endless, strong and true My whole world begins with you [Verse 2] Rob, you stood beside me On that altar, hand in hand Then held our boys when they arrived A wonderfully made man Taylor, Corey, growing tall With your humor and your heart Now Danielle and Lily too They've loved you from the start [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to us Forty-nine years of love and trust Through the laughter, through the tears You're my best thing, all these years Our love is endless, strong and true My whole world begins with you [Bridge] Little Axel's got your grin And those cats have got your lap You're still turning wrenches on that '69 Still the boy from way out back [Verse 3] You give so much to everyone Your kindness never ends A father, husband, grandpa too The one the whole world leans against Still silly, still so generous Still handsome, gray and all Rob, I'd follow you again Just like that day last fall [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to us Forty-nine years of love and trust Through the laughter, through the tears You're my best thing, all these years Our love is endless, strong and true My whole world begins with you [Outro] From Melanie to her Rob tonight Our love is endless, shining bright
