Robert

We were just a couple kids back in nineteen seventy-nine

Standing at the altar, putting our hearts on the line

Robert, you took my hand and promised me a life

Through the sweat and the struggle, I'm so proud to be your wife

You worked the longest hours, gave it all you had to give

Showing this family exactly how to live

We raised four kids on small wages, but we never did without

You were the steady ground beneath me when the world was full of doubt

You're a caring, hardworking father, a husband tried and true

Robert, you're my everything, I'd be lost if not for you

Side by side through the years, through whatever kind of weather

I don't know what I'd do, thank God we're always together

I look back at the pennies that we had to pinch and save

But the house was always warm with the love and care you gave

You're the first one to help out when somebody needs a hand

A quiet, gentle strength, a truly honest man

We survived the leanest times, kept the wolf outside the door

And every single morning, I just love you more and more

We raised four kids on small wages, but we never did without

You were the steady ground beneath me when the world was full of doubt

You're a caring, hardworking father, a husband tried and true

Robert, you're my everything, I'd be lost if not for you

Side by side through the years, through whatever kind of weather

I don't know what I'd do, thank God we're always together

The silver in our hair shows the life that we have built

Wrapped up in your arms like a familiar, heavy quilt

If I had to do it over, I would choose you every time

I'm still that girl who fell for you in nineteen seventy-nine

We raised four kids on small wages, but we never did without

You were the steady ground beneath me when the world was full of doubt

You're a caring, hardworking father, a husband tried and true

Robert, you're my everything, I'd be lost if not for you

Side by side through the years, through whatever kind of weather

I don't know what I'd do, thank God we're always together

Yes, Robert, you're my everything, and we're always together
