Through the Ink and Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was drifting, I was lost at sea No direction, no one guiding me Then a light broke through the grey And love found me anyway You showed me how to stay [Chorus] So here's to you, Ah-nah Maria Every chapter starts and ends with you Through the ink and through the years Through the laughter, through the tears You're the reason I see clear My best friend, my everything, it's true [Verse 2] They said the distance in our years would fade But look at what this beautiful life has made Side by side at King Louie's Tattoo Parlor Needles hum our story getting larger And our boy, so bright he leaves me breathless His mind a gift that proves we're blessed in this [Chorus] So here's to you, Ah-nah Maria Every chapter starts and ends with you Through the ink and through the years Through the laughter, through the tears You're the reason I see clear My best friend, my everything, it's true [Bridge] You always ask me, "Are we good?" Baby, we're better than I ever understood You taught me patience, taught me grace I found my home inside your face [Verse 3] Two hands creating art upon the skin Two hearts that chose to start it all again New beginnings written in our blood A family rising from the flood Ah-nah Maria, you're the love I was never meant to find but I'm so glad I did [Chorus] So here's to you, Ah-nah Maria Every chapter starts and ends with you Through the ink and through the years Through the laughter, through the tears You're the reason I see clear My best friend, my everything, it's true [Outro] Happy Mother's Day, my love You're everything I'm dreaming of
