That Girl in the Red Dress

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A crowded store, a red dress swayin' by, A stranger's glance, a spark I can't deny. You told your buddies, bold and unafraid, "That's the girl I'm gonna marry someday." We barely knew the road we'd start to pave, But somethin' in your eyes made me feel brave. [Chorus] Oh, Albert, you're my always and my home, The steady hand that never lets me roam. Through every risk and every quiet grace, I'd walk it all again to see your face. Just because you love me like you do, There's no one in this world I'd choose but you. [Verse 2] A golf course crowd, and there you were again, I found my way to stand where you had been. You asked my number, spun a little lie, A concert you'd have skipped just to be nigh. That Monday lunch turned into one more night, We talked for hours 'neath the barroom light. [Chorus] Oh, Albert, you're my always and my home, The steady hand that never lets me roam. Through every risk and every quiet grace, I'd walk it all again to see your face. Just because you love me like you do, There's no one in this world I'd choose but you. [Bridge] You chase me 'round the kitchen, silly and free, A side of you that only we get to see. The kids all cheer the moment you appear— The finest father, present, kind, and here. [Verse 3] Now Saturday means pancakes on the stove, And Friday nights, the weekend that we owe. We lean on one another, day by day, Buildin' somethin' nothin' takes away. Two beautiful kids, this joyful little crew, And it all began with me and you. [Outro] So here's my heart, no reason, nothin' new— Just because, my love, I'm sure of you.
