Barbara

Minute by minute, day by day

You know exactly what to do and say

You’ve got a patience that I can’t explain

And a sense of humor through the pouring rain

Barbara, you're the steady ground beneath my feet

Making this life we built feel so complete

There is no one else in the whole wide world

I would rather have right here by my side

Through the shadows, the light, and the changing tides

I owe my life to you, my beautiful wife

Yeah, I owe my life to you

Out on the water when the morning is still

You're my forever fishing partner, casting out a reel

And when the weekend comes and autumn is here

You're my football buddy, cheering loud and clear

From the quiet of the lake to the Sunday lights

Everything with you just feels so right

There is no one else in the whole wide world

I would rather have right here by my side

Through the shadows, the light, and the changing tides

I owe my life to you, my beautiful wife

Yeah, I owe my life to you

When I was hurting, you were nursing me back

You kept my whole world right on the track

You're fiercely defensive, you stand like a wall

You're always my shelter whenever I fall

Your supportive heart is my saving grace

And my favorite home is in your embrace

So let the clock keep ticking, let the years roll on

Right here with you is where I belong

Minute by minute, and day by day

I'm gonna love you in every single way

'Cause there is no one else in the whole wide world

I would rather have right here by my side

Through the shadows, the light, and the changing tides

I owe my life to you, my beautiful wife

Yeah, I owe my life to you

Barbara, I owe my life to you
