My Rock For Forty Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Friday night, a ball game under lights An old Vega that wouldn't start We had to roll it just to get it running right But something sparked inside my heart I slid into first, he called me out We lost the game but I found what life's about [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through the laughter and the tears Through the storms that came and gone You've been my rock through all these years Every sunrise, every song My heart still knows where it belongs [Verse 2] Two baby boys came running through our door Daniel and Josh, our pride and joy The kind of love you never felt before Every laugh from every girl and boy Then the darkest night stole Daniel away At seventeen, the world turned cold and grey [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through the laughter and the tears Through the storms that came and gone You've been my rock through all these years Every sunrise, every song My heart still knows where it belongs [Bridge] We could have fallen, we could have let it break us down But Barry, you reached for my hand And somehow love kept us on solid ground [Verse 3] Now Alivea, Hannah, Blake, and Bella call our name Grandchildren running through the yard Barry, you light up every time they came A gentle man with a tender heart You've always been devotion standing tall The love of my life through it all [Chorus] Forty years of holding on Through the laughter and the tears Through the storms that came and gone Barry, you're my rock through all these years Every sunrise, every song My heart still knows where it belongs [Outro] I don't know what I'd do without you here My love, my life, for forty years
