The Current Led Back to You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids at fifteen, didn't know a thing Just a hallway glance and a heart with wings We had something real, then we let it go You went off to serve, I watched you grow Life pulled us apart like rivers do But the current always led back to you [Chorus] Here's to the years, here's to the miles Here's to the tears that turned into smiles Through every storm, you stood your ground Brian, you're the strongest love I've found Thirty-five years and I'd do it again My marine, my heart, my best friend [Verse 2] You were overseas when the whole world changed Laura's light went out, nothing felt the same But standing in that sorrow, side by side Something woke back up that never really died She brought us back together, I believe An angel's gift we'd never thought we'd receive [Chorus] Here's to the years, here's to the miles Here's to the tears that turned into smiles Through every storm, you stood your ground Brian, you're the strongest love I've found Thirty-five years and I'd do it again My marine, my heart, my best friend [Bridge] Two boys who carry pieces of us both A family built on courage and on hope Laura's watching over all we've made Her love still lives in every step we take [Verse 3] From that high school hall to this weathered hand You became the boy who became my man Every base, every move, every midnight call Brian, I would follow through it all What we almost lost just made us sure This kind of devotion's what we're living for [Chorus] Here's to the years, here's to the miles Here's to the tears that turned into smiles Through every storm, you stood your ground Brian, you're the strongest love I've found Thirty-five years and I'd do it again My marine, my heart, my best friend [Outro] So here's to thirty-five, and all the rest With you beside me, I am blessed
