The Night I Walked Into That Bar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walked into that bar, didn't know my life would change Something in the air felt different, felt strange One look was all it took, I knew right then My heart found where it was supposed to begin Almost thirty years and I'd do it all again [Chorus] Happy birthday, Kate, my heart, my home You're the strongest woman I have ever known Through the highs and lows, the joy and the ache There's nobody I'd rather walk beside Happy birthday, Kate [Verse 2] We built a life together, raised it brick by brick A boy who has your fire, loyal and quick We lost our angel girl, just twenty-four And I watched you carry weight no one should endure You lost your dad, your grandma, closed those doors But somehow, darlin', you just love us more [Chorus] Happy birthday, Kate, my heart, my home You're the strongest woman I have ever known Through the highs and lows, the joy and the ache There's nobody I'd rather walk beside Happy birthday, Kate [Bridge] Gunnar and Zoey curled up at your feet Jersey nights won't last, there's a southern breeze Waiting down the road for you and me [Verse 3] You outwork the sunrise every single day Give it all you got and never look for praise Come October you're glued to the Phillies game Screaming at the TV, calling every play Our son and I, we wouldn't change a thing You're more than you believe, more than everything [Chorus] Happy birthday, Kate, my heart, my home You're the strongest woman I have ever known Through the highs and lows, the joy and the ache There's nobody I'd rather walk beside Happy birthday, Kate [Outro] Thirty years of loving you and counting Happy birthday, darlin', happy birthday, Kate
