The Most Pathetic Christmas Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Met through a screen, a hopeful little spark, Two strangers reaching out across the dark. June of '09, our very first date, A daughter and a dog said, "He's the one, it's fate." [Chorus] Here's to the road, the years, the love we've grown, Sixteen summers and a life we call our own. Through every storm and every shining day, Thank God for you, in every single way. [Verse 2] Christmas City lights, that sorry-looking tree, I spoke my mind, then you dropped down on one knee. Nadine sent the text before I caught my breath, At Glasbern Inn, I promised you my best. [Chorus] Here's to the road, the years, the love we've grown, Sixteen summers and a life we call our own. Through every storm and every shining day, Thank God for you, Ken, in every single way. [Bridge] For Harry's smile we carry down the line, West Virginia roads, his memory shines. A father's love still rides inside your heart, And I'll be right beside you, every part. [Verse 3] You shovel snow for neighbors, fix the list I write, You love our girl, our grandkids, hold us tight. Retirement's calling, bikes and open skies, More time, more miles, more love, more sweet goodbyes. [Chorus] Here's to the road, the years, the love we've grown, Sixteen summers and a life we call our own. Through every storm and every shining day, Thank God for you, Ken, in every single way. [Outro] My steady hand, my honey-do, my friend, I'd marry you again, and again, and again.
