The Anchor Holding Strong

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started with a summer breeze, A county fair, a crowd of faces, Where laughter drifted through the trees And fortune led me to that place. One look was all it ever took, My whole world turned that afternoon. [Chorus] Oh, forty-five years down the road, Still the light that leads me home. Skip, you're the anchor holding strong, The steady heart where we belong. Through every season, come what may, I'm blessed by you each single day. [Verse 2] Beneath the dome you took my hand, From the House floor, a bold proposal, August skies, a promise grand, A love no distance could dissolve. The eighty-first, that golden year, You made forever crystal clear. [Chorus] Oh, forty-five years down the road, Still the light that leads me home. Skip, you're the anchor holding strong, The steady heart where we belong. Through every season, come what may, I'm blessed by you each single day. [Bridge] Four children raised with steady hands, Three little ones to bless our days. A legacy of courage stands, Of love that never fades away. [Verse 3] So handsome still, so quick to laugh, So wise and gentle, brave and true. You've built a family that will last, And all of it began with you. The light of life, the ground I stand, Forever yours, hand in hand. [Chorus] Oh, forty-five years down the road, Still the light that leads me home. Skip, you're the anchor holding strong, The steady heart where we belong. Through every season, come what may, I'm blessed by you each single day. [Outro] From that first glance to here and now, Still in love, still keeping every vow.
