The Boss and Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] December skies, nineteen seventy-one A young love story had just begun A Boss three-oh-two, that Mustang ride I climbed on in, sat by his side Engine humming like a country hymn And I gave my heart right there to him [Chorus] Through the joy and through the tears Through the laughter, through the years Faith has held us, love has grown We built a family, made a home Hand in hand, we've walked this road Carrying more than we were told [Verse 2] We lost three angels up in heaven's care But God was with us, He met us there Our love grew deeper, our hearts held tight Leaning on Jesus through every night Then came Michael, then came Kelly too Answered prayers, our dreams come true [Chorus] Through the joy and through the tears Through the laughter, through the years Faith has held us, love has grown We built a family, made a home Hand in hand, we've walked this road Carrying more than we were told [Bridge] Oh Mike, my love, my steady ground The greatest gift I ever found Fifty-five years, still side by side Still that girl with stars in her eyes [Verse 3] Saturday races, the engines roar You light up like a kid once more NASCAR Sundays, family near The simple things we both hold dear A car guy's heart, a husband true There's no one else I'd choose but you [Chorus] Through the joy and through the tears Through the laughter, through the years Faith has held us, love has grown We built a family, made a home Hand in hand, we've walked this road Mike, my love, my heart, my home [Outro] December skies, the years roll by Still in love, you and I Forever yours, faithfully
