The Smile Across the Office Floor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen eighty-four, I was finding my way Young and full of dreams in a brand new day Then across the office floor, a smile broke through Broke every rule I had, and I fell for you [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful song Through every season, you've carried me along From the mountains to the shorelines, the desert sky so wide You've been my steady heartbeat, my joy, my pride [Verse 2] California highways and the salt sea air Wherever we wandered, you were always there We built a family, raised a son so fine Now two little boys make our whole world shine Russ, my love, you're the gift of my life Father, grandfather, my friend, and I'm still your wife [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful song Through every season, you've carried me along From the mountains to the shorelines, the desert sky so wide You've been my steady heartbeat, my joy, my pride [Bridge] Little notes you leave me, tea you bring at dawn The way you call me beautiful keeps me holding on Russ, you love me deeper than the words you say Every Father's Day, I thank God for the way [Verse 3] The ups and downs, we weathered them all Stronger as lovers, friends through every fall Our grandsons' laughter, our son standing tall You're the quiet peace, the heart of it all [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful song Through every season, you've carried me along From the mountains to the shorelines, the desert sky so wide You've been my steady heartbeat, my joy, my pride [Outro] Russ, my forever, my home, my view Happy Father's Day, my love, to you
