Dear

We met at work in a classroom, just getting to know the rest

But you stood out from the others, I felt it in my chest

You said you were divorced, but you’d never been on a date

I asked you out to lunch, I didn't want to wait

I found you so intriguing as you weathered through the storm

But I could see your life back then was feeling sad and torn

But all it took was a gallon of wine

At my place, just spending the time

From a broken road to a family

Oh my dear, we were meant to be

Through the highs and the lows and the years gone by

We are forever meant to be, you and I

You were living in a bad spot, so you came to live with me

That April I was happy to gain three kids and a family

I asked you to marry me when our love was feeling new

Took fifteen years until the day we finally said "I do"

We tied the knot in the garden, our favorite place to visit

And Legolas would have been proud to hit it

'Cause all it took was a gallon of wine

At my place, just spending the time

From a broken road to a family

Oh my dear, we were meant to be

Through the highs and the lows and the years gone by

We are forever meant to be, you and I

We’ve traveled round the world and we’ve rolled down grassy hills

We even saw a tree thrown, through the quiet and the thrills

Moved to a brand new state, with so much on our plate

But we always make adjustments, we never hesitate

Through every single chapter, whatever comes to be

I'm hoping soon we'll pack our bags and get out to the sea

'Cause all it took was a gallon of wine

At my place, just spending the time

From a broken road to a family

Oh my dear, it was plain to see

As we're getting older and the time has quickly flown

We are forever meant to be, the truest love I've known
