19 Years

Verse 1
High school hallways, seventeen and wild
Eight years full of love, then our firstborn child
Life was a dream till the dark clouds rolled in
The bank took the walls, but you wouldn't let them win
Dangerous hours and those late-night shifts
You carried our world on your own two wrists.
Chorus
Nineteen years and we’re standing tall
You broke the chains so our kids wouldn't fall
The best damn father, my rock, and my guide
Thank you for fighting with me by your side
Just hold on a little longer, my love
Our melody is rising above.
Verse 2You bust your back for the life that we share
Healing the past with the depth of your care
We’re on our feet now, we survived the cold
A love this deep is worth more than gold
The hardest days are all in the rearview
Every single day I fall deeper for you.
Bridge
Through the heaviest rain, our baby girl came
A beautiful blessing that shifted the game
Now both of our children are safe in your sight
You led us all straight into the light.
Chorus
Nineteen years and we’re standing tall
You broke the chains so our kids wouldn't fall
The best damn father, my rock, and my guide
Thank you for fighting with me by your side
Just hold on a little longer, my love
Our melody is rising above.
Outro
The storm has passed, we are finally free
Soon you’ll be singing this song back to me
Just hold on, my love
We're singing our songs together.
