Chris

Let's take a ride back to the very start

When you first put a claim upon my heart

We'd take those long walks, side by side

With nothing to do and nothing to hide

Then we’d jump in the car and just drive for hours

Letting the radio play through the night

Talking and laughing, so wild and free

Just you and me in the dashboard light

Oh, Chris, I want you to remember that spark

When we were just kids driving out in the dark

Now it’s twenty-five years of building a life

I’m the mother of your children, your lifelong wife

So whenever the days get heavy and long

I hope you look back and hear our old song

We’re still the same souls, connected and free

Forever my husband, forever with me

I watch you today and I see a good man

Working so hard, doing all that you can

You’re a rock for this family, a father so strong

Making sure that we have what we need to get on

You’ve got a good heart, always helping a friend

A fierce protector right up to the end

A steady provider through all kinds of weather

Keeping us safe and keeping us together

Oh, Chris, I want you to remember that spark

When we were just kids driving out in the dark

Now it’s twenty-five years of building a life

I’m the mother of your children, your lifelong wife

So whenever the days get heavy and long

I hope you look back and hear our old song

We’re still the same souls, connected and free

Forever my husband, forever with me

The years might have added some gray to our hair

With all of the burdens we've carried and shared

But strip it all back to the music and miles

I can still see that young boy in your smile

Let's take a deep breath and just let it all go

And find that old freedom we used to know

Oh, Chris, I want you to remember that spark

When we were just kids driving out in the dark

After twenty-five years of building a life

I’m the mother of your children, your lifelong wife

So whenever the days get heavy and long

I hope you look back and hear our old song

We’re still the same souls, connected and free

Forever my husband, forever with me
