Every Time, Every Year

Lyrics

[Verse 1] April night back in ninety-seven Two strangers talking like they'd found their heaven Hours passing, pager buzzing on the line But nothing in this world could steal that time Something whispered, "Hold on, this is real" A kind of love that words can't even seal [Chorus] Here's to the one who never let me fall The steady hand, the heart behind it all Through every storm you stood there standing tall My devotion, my forever, my everything, my all [Verse 2] Then came the babies, oh what a ride LaKia first, with you beaming right beside Then Mark Junior carrying on your name And Kaitlin made our world a sweeter flame Cuts and bruises, broken hearts you'd mend Graduations where the happy tears won't end [Chorus] Here's to the one who never let me fall The steady hand, the heart behind it all Through every storm you stood there standing tall My devotion, my forever, my everything, my all [Bridge] Twenty-eight years and I love you even more Mark, you're the man I thank the Lord above for Watching our children walk down aisles of their own Look at this beautiful life that we have grown [Verse 3] Now it's our season, just you and me again Still got that spark from way back when I couldn't picture this with anyone but you Mark, every single day you prove love true So on your birthday let me say it loud and clear I'd choose you every time, year after year [Chorus] Here's to the one who never let me fall The steady hand, the heart behind it all Through every storm you stood there standing tall My devotion, my forever, my everything, my all [Outro] Happy birthday, Mark, my partner, my best friend Forever yours until the very end
