Vern

You come home tired when the daylight fades

After giving your all to the life we made

Those calloused hands are the gentlest I know

Vern, you're my fire when the embers get low

You carry the weight without a complaint

And love me with a patience of a saint

Whether we're casting a line out on the water

Or driving the county roads a little farther

Just sharing the quiet, sitting side by side

You're the only one I want on this ride

My caring husband, so steady and true

I will always, always love you

We don't need the noise or a busy street

Just a gravel road and the truck's front seat

Watching a bobber in the afternoon breeze

With you right beside me, my heart is at ease

We don't have to speak to know what it means

Living out the best of our simple dreams

Whether we're casting a line out on the water

Or driving the county roads a little farther

Just sharing the quiet, sitting side by side

You're the only one I want on this ride

My caring husband, so steady and true

I will always, always love you

You give everything you have, day after day

And you show you care in your own quiet way

The years might turn and the seasons might fade

But I wouldn't trade a single memory we've made

Whether we're casting a line out on the water

Or driving the county roads a little farther

Just sharing the quiet, sitting side by side

You're the only one I want on this ride

My caring husband, so steady and true

Vern, I will always, always love you

Yes, I will always love you
