My Harbor in an Endless Sea

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people drift through life alone Chasing winds they've never known But I found an anchor long ago A steady heart, a place called home Through the tides and changing skies I see forever in her eyes [Chorus] Here's to the one who held it all Through every wave, she'd never fall Four kids raised with gentle hands A love that always understands Carrie, you're the best of me My harbor in an endless sea [Verse 2] Key West sun on our skin for ten long years Salt air mixed with laughter and a few tears Then Guam stretched out beneath the island stars Three years of paradise felt like ours Virginia held us eleven more You made every base a home worth fighting for [Chorus] Here's to the one who held it all Through every wave, she'd never fall Four kids raised with gentle hands A love that always understands Carrie, you're the best of me My harbor in an endless sea [Bridge] Twenty-four years you stood beside the guard Twenty-three you've held onto my heart Two boys and two girls who know your strength You gave us everything and then some more at length [Verse 3] Now the mountains of Carolina call us home Rocking chairs and ridgelines, no more need to roam Morning fog rolls through these hills like a dream And Carrie, you're still the prettiest thing I've seen From the coral reefs to the mountain air Every chapter's golden 'cause you were there [Chorus] Here's to the one who held it all Through every wave, she'd never fall Four kids raised with gentle hands A love that always understands Carrie, you're the best of me My harbor in an endless sea [Outro] Happy birthday to my everything You're the song these mountains sing
