From East Meadow To Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A spring afternoon, the sun was getting low A football spinning through the March air glow Wine coolers and laughter on a blanket in the grass Eisenhower Park, where two worlds crossed at last Something in that moment said this love was built to last [Chorus] Here's to the man who never let us fall Who carried every burden standing tall With a steady hand and a faithful heart You've been our shelter right from the start And I thank God for you through it all [Verse 2] Six months was all it took to know for sure A Valentine's Day promise, something pure Thirty years on Long Island, building dreams in Lindenhurst Through every joy and every time it hurt Rob, you put your family first [Chorus] Here's to the man who never let us fall Who carried every burden standing tall With a steady hand and a faithful heart You've been our shelter right from the start And I thank God for you through it all [Bridge] When we lost Evelyn, you held me through the storm You kept me safe, you kept me warm Rob, your love's the peace I lean upon [Verse 3] Now Carolina sunsets paint the porch in gold RJ and Sabrina watching your heart unfold Tank and Titan at your feet, the Kilfoils on the phone Thirteen kids raised strong, and look how love has grown From that park in East Meadow to this Summerville home [Chorus] Here's to the man who never let us fall Who carried every burden standing tall With a steady hand and a faithful heart You've been our shelter right from the start Rob, I thank God for you through it all [Outro] Since nineteen eighty-eight you've been my solid ground The greatest man this heart has ever found
