The Best Thing Standing Tall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people talk about forever Like it's just a word they say But I found a love that weathered Every storm along the way We were young with dirt beneath our nails Laying down foundations stone by stone [Chorus] Forty-four years of building something real Hammer and heart and a love made of steel From the blueprints to the sunsets, every mile Chuck, you still make this world worth every while [Verse 2] We raised a daughter, watched her bloom Built businesses from sweat and dreams Packed our bags and crossed the ocean Chased horizons, chased new scenes From the rooftops we put up together To the far-off roads we wandered hand in hand [Chorus] Forty-four years of building something real Hammer and heart and a love made of steel From the blueprints to the sunsets, every mile Chuck, you still make this world worth every while [Bridge] Now the game is on the screen And you pull me close and hold me tight These quiet days are everything Retired and wrapped up right [Verse 3] We don't need another ticket Don't need another wall to raise Just your laugh across the kitchen And the warmth of easy days Chuck, of all the things we built together You and me's the best thing standing tall [Chorus] Forty-four years of building something real Hammer and heart and a love made of steel From the blueprints to the sunsets, every mile Chuck, you still make this world worth every while [Outro] So lean in close, let's hold on tight My forever love, my best friend, my light
