Robert

Almost ten years ago, just a face on a screen

I was hoping for love, you were somewhere unseen

A couple typed-out messages and staying up late

I didn't know a dating site was handing me fate

Now I look at you, Robert, and I still feel the spark

You're the steady hand that leads me through the dark

You’re the arms that wrap around us when the wind blows cold

The most patient kind of love that I could ever hold

Watching you be a father is a beautiful sight

You protect what we have, and you hold on tight

Robert, you're my anchor, my heart, and my home

As long as I have you, I'll never walk alone

Our little girl had just turned one, playing on the floor

I knew I didn't want to wait a single second more

At our friends' house for the party, with the music playing low

Waiting on the countdown and the midnight glow

We stood there on New Year's Eve and finally said "I do"

Starting out a brand new year giving my whole heart to you

You’re the arms that wrap around us when the wind blows cold

The most patient kind of love that I could ever hold

Watching you be a father is a beautiful sight

You protect what we have, and you hold on tight

Robert, you're my anchor, my heart, and my home

As long as I have you, I'll never walk alone

Through the quiet little moments and the busy days

I fall deeper for you in a hundred different ways

You give us all your strength without asking for a thing

Every day I'm grateful for the peace you bring

'Cause you’re the arms that wrap around us when the wind blows cold

The most patient kind of love that I could ever hold

Watching you be a father is a beautiful sight

You protect what we have, and you hold on tight

Robert, you're my anchor, my heart, and my home

As long as I have you, I'll never walk alone
