Seven Years on the River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things start with just a spark A simple swipe lit up the dark Two hearts searching, finding home No more nights of being alone A match was made, a flame caught hold A love story waiting to be told [Chorus] Here's to the river and the road we ride Here's to the years standing side by side Through every storm and golden day Love like this don't fade away Here's to the life we're building true Here's to every moment spent with you [Verse 2] Dukes and Goldschläger in the snow Pool halls and golf where the good times flow Tubing on the river, sun on our skin Standing on the ski, that fearless grin Out on the pontoon, drifting slow Teddy, you're the best ride I know [Chorus] Here's to the river and the road we ride Here's to the years standing side by side Through every storm and golden day Love like this don't fade away Here's to the life we're building true Here's to every moment spent with you [Bridge] When they opened up your chest You showed the world what beats the best A fighter's heart that won't give in Teddy, you came back again [Verse 3] Florida sunsets with my folks Your greasy hands and inside jokes Remodeling these walls we share Your family, mine, all gathered there Seven years and sixty-four Teddy, I just love you more A mechanic's hands that fix what's broke And hold me close beneath his coat [Chorus] Here's to the river and the road we ride Here's to the years standing side by side Through every storm and golden day Love like this don't fade away Here's to the life we're building true Here's to every moment spent with you [Outro] Happy birthday, Teddy, here's to more The best is waiting just in store
