Ask for a Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story I still love to tell Of a night I remember so well Foreign skies and a faraway base A crowded room, then I saw your face Behind the bar, you were pouring light And I knew I had to cross that room tonight [Chorus] So here's to you, my forever, my flame Here's to the spark that started this game Every year, every laugh, every climb You're the best thing that ever was mine Happy birthday, my love, my friend This is a song that will never end [Verse 2] I walked right up with a cigarette Asked for a light, and I'll never forget Months went by, then I came back through Got in your face, said "Remember you?" You looked up slow with that gentle grin And that was the moment we both let love in [Chorus] So here's to you, my forever, my flame Here's to the spark that started this game Every year, every laugh, every climb You're the best thing that ever was mine Happy birthday, my love, my friend This is a song that will never end [Bridge] Barefoot on a Hawaiian shore Floating on clouds, who could ask for more Fourteen years and the love still grows Rudy, my heart, only heaven knows [Verse 3] From Ramstein nights to Waikiki sand To Maui sunsets and your steady hand Through every season, through every mile You still light me up with that same slow smile Rudy, my comfort, my strength, my home Wherever you are is where I belong [Chorus] So here's to you, my forever, my flame Here's to the spark that started this game Every year, every laugh, every climb You're the best thing that ever was mine Happy birthday, Rudy, my friend This is a song that will never end [Outro] Here's to the bar and the light you gave Here's to the love and the life we made
