The Second Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a number scribbled on a napkin A birthday girl too nervous for the call She hung up once then dialed again That second try changed everything and all A lunch at Souper Salad, nothing fancy But something in that moment felt like home [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of mornings Here's to every storm we've weathered through Every mile, every road, every reason I have known That the best thing I ever did was loving you [Verse 2] You took two little ones and called them yours We built it up to five and drove out west Boise gave us room to plant our roots A place to build a life, our very best Robert, you have carried us with strong hands And a heart that never once ran out of room [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of mornings Here's to every storm we've weathered through Every mile, every road, every reason I have known That the best thing I ever did was loving you [Bridge] When the fight came knocking at our door You held me close and never looked away You sang your silly songs with made-up words And somehow made it feel like a better day [Verse 3] Now Sunday eggs for me and Lacey too Ten miles before the coffee's even done You're the dog dad and the runner and the man Who makes our ordinary days feel like the sun Robert, from that bar to this forever April twenty-ninth still takes my breath away [Chorus] Here's to thirty years of mornings Here's to every storm we've weathered through Every mile, every road, every reason I have known That the best thing I ever did was loving you [Outro] You're my person, Robert, always will be Thirty years and I'd choose you again
