A young sailor far from home, a chance meeting under foreign city lights, and forty years of a love that never once lost its way — this song captures the beautiful truth that some hearts simply know where they belong. It honors the devotion of a partner who held the family together through long goodbyes and distant seas, and the deep gratitude of a man who found his greatest adventure not on the ocean, but in the life they built together. A celebration of milestone love, of children raised with pride, and of two people who still choose each other every single morning.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Salt in the air, a foreign shore A young sailor, asking for more Underneath those Tokyo lights Found a girl with kind, dark eyes Forty years since that hello Funny how the heart just knows [Chorus] Through the harbors and the highways Through the quiet and the loud You've been every reason, every prayer That I've ever shouted out Three ships out on the ocean Couldn't keep my heart from home Oh, my love, you're the only port I'll know [Verse 2] Ikuko, you waited there Two little boys with dark brown hair Wayne and Brian, our greatest pride Built a life on the other side Of every goodbye, every sea You were always home to me [Chorus] Through the harbors and the highways Through the quiet and the loud You've been every reason, every prayer That I've ever shouted out Three ships out on the ocean Couldn't keep my heart from home Oh, my love, you're the only port I'll know [Bridge] July eleventh, count them slow Forty summers, still aglow Ikuko, my steady flame I'd cross the world to say your name [Verse 3] Now we do most everything as one Morning coffee, setting sun Strong and gentle, soft and true Family built from me and you If forever's what we get It still wouldn't be enough yet [Chorus] Through the harbors and the highways Through the quiet and the loud You've been every reason, every prayer That I've ever shouted out Ikuko, my forever My anchor, my own Oh, my love, you're the only home I've known [Outro] Salt in the air, a foreign shore Forty years, and I love you more
