Mud-Stained Boots and Golden Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A whirlwind came in autumn light, Three months and I knew you were right. Down by the rugby club one day, You smiled and stole my breath away. A country boy with mud-stained boots, Strong steady hands and deep-set roots. [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a ride, Thirty-three years right by my side. Through every storm and golden sun, My heart still beats like we'd just begun. Best friend, soulmate, the truest part, You're still the rhythm of my heart. [Verse 2] I watched you run that rugby field, Watched fields you plowed and seasons yield. You cheered me on through every dream, Held up my world, held up my name. And Charlotte dancing on your shoes, A daddy's girl, our pride, our muse. [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a ride, Thirty-three years right by my side. Through every storm and golden sun, My heart still beats like we'd just begun. Best friend, soulmate, the truest part, You're still the rhythm of my heart. [Bridge] The day you walked our girl down the aisle, Tears in your eyes, that quiet smile. Simon, my love, you carried us through, There's nothing in this world like you. [Verse 3] We've had our ups, we've had our lows, But every road's where our love grows. I couldn't do this life alone, You're every prayer, you're every home. So here's to us, just because, For all you are, for all you was. [Chorus] Oh what a love, oh what a ride, Simon, forever by my side. Through every storm and golden sun, My heart still beats like we'd just begun. [Outro] Best friend, soulmate, my guiding light, Simon, my always, my every night.
