Alison

We met at the daycare, I covered your leave

Became inseparable, so hard to believe

Sleepless nights on the phone, stories told in the dark

That funny first kiss that ignited the spark

We’d spend hours just holding hands, catching our breath

Staring right in your eyes, feeling nothing but depth

Our love grew so quickly, so sensual and true

My smart, independent, sweet Alison, you

You’re my brown-eyed girl, my guiding light

When you say nothing at all, it all feels right

You make me better, you’re the best thing I know

On this crazy journey, I’m not letting you go

Through the twists and the turns, the skies gray or blue

Every road, Alison, leads back to you

You gave me a gift I could never repay

Letting me help raise young Joey each day

When we lost your mom, Ruth, it was heavy to bear

We moved into Broadway and built our life there

You were strong and encouraging, holding us tight

Through all of the sorrow, you brought back the light

You’re my brown-eyed girl, my guiding light

When you say nothing at all, it all feels right

You make me better, you’re the best thing I know

On this crazy journey, I’m not letting you go

Through the twists and the turns, the skies gray or blue

Every road, Alison, leads back to you

It was heartbreaking trying to grow on our own

But we fostered, adopted, and gave them a home

I fell in love watching you hold our new babies

Your caring and strength is the magic that saves me

We lost your dad, Ralph, and the whole world locked down

Tragedy struck as the silence grew loud

Things got so heavy, we drifted apart

We went separate ways with an ache in our heart

But time and the distance just proved what was true

I found my one love when I came back to you

You’re my brown-eyed girl, my guiding light

When you say nothing at all, it all feels right

You make me better, you’re the best thing I know

On this crazy journey, I’m never letting you go

This time it's forever, our story is true

Every road, Alison, leads back to you
