Howie

We stood at the altar and made our vow

Thirty-two years from then until now

Then came the blessing of our baby girl

Alyssa came along and became our world

We built this life through the joy and the tears

Holding on tight through the passing years

But sometimes you work till you're worn to the bone

And forget all the beauty you've already grown

Howie, I wish you could see through my eyes

You'd see the good man that you hold inside

I hope one day that you finally see

Chasing a dollar ain't what's meant to be

The most important thing that this life is made of

Is spending our time with the ones that we love

I saw your true soul when the heavy rain fell

A story of kindness I'll always tell

March twenty-twenty, my dad slipped away

But you were his comfort, day after day

You cared for him gently, right up to the end

You were his rock, and my steady friend

That's the pure heart that I want you to see

The one that means absolutely everything to me

Howie, I wish you could see through my eyes

You'd see the good man that you hold inside

I hope one day that you finally see

Chasing a dollar ain't what's meant to be

The most important thing that this life is made of

Is spending our time with the ones that we love

Let's take a drive up to Fish Trap Lake

Watch the sun setting and catch a break

Leave all the hustle and worry behind

Let the still water bring peace to your mind

We don't need a fortune to make a good life

Just you as my husband, and me as your wife

Oh Howie, I wish you could see through my eyes

You'd see the good man that you hold inside

I pray that tomorrow you'll finally see

Chasing a dollar ain't what's meant to be

The most important thing that this life is made of

Is spending our time with the ones that we love

Yeah, the time that we share is the wealth that I love
